Charlotte's Web


"... with men it's rush, rush, rush, every minute. I'm glad I'm a sedentary spider."
"What does sedentary mean?" asked Wilbur.
"Means I sit still a good part of the time and don't go wandering all over creation. I know a good thing when I see it, and my web is a good thing. I stay put and wait for what comes. Gives me a chance to think."

Charlotte's Web, pp. 60 - 61

    I love you for this.

    I feel as though this book never gets any attention anymore, and it bloody should.
