Elwyn Brooks White was a very Maine personality which is, "I hate everyone and everyone stay away from me."

My favorite season is autumn, and Maine is lovely for that reason. In Maine, autumn begins on July 29. That's when you start building a fire in the fireplace and the leaves literally start falling from the trees. It is a cold and rugged and a beautiful place that reminds you with its many death traps - its painfully cold oceans, its sharp, jagged beaches, and perilous cliffsides - that nature doesn't care whether you live or die.

Anyone of conscience could come look at my book and see it as an esoteric oddity or be intrigued by it. It could happen either way on a thousand different little decisions each individual might make.

I don't wish to brag, but I'm very intelligent.

My candidacy is a compelling argument for my candidacy. I want to be President.

I am not beautiful, so I don't know why I'm making myself ugly. But the mustache stays.

The villain of any story is often the most compelling character.
