"In a sense the world dies every time……" — Elwyn Brooks White

"In a sense the world dies every time a writer dies, because, if he is any good, he has been a wet nurse to humanity during his entire existence and has held earth close around him, like the little obstetrical toad that goes about with a cluster of eggs attached to his legs."

— Elwyn Brooks White
