A personal favorite, and I feel lucky every time I see them. As a child, my mom read #TrumpetoftheSwan to me one winter, and I have never forgotten it.

"Writing is hard work and bad for the health." --Mis-attributed to E. B. White (1899-1985) No verifiable source can be found #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #ebwhite The above line, attributed to E. B. White with no source on many sites, “Writing is hard work and bad for the health” - captures the grind most writers recognize: long hours, mental overclocking, and the weird ergonomics of sitting with your thoughts. That sentiment tracks with how White often described the labor of writing: it’s demanding, solitary, and mostly solved in revision. The work isn’t glamorous; it’s persistent. E. B. White did write, “Writing is one way to go about thinking, and the practice and habit of writing not only drain the mind but supply it, too.” That comes from The Elements of Style (1959 et seq.) Not quite the same as the above line, but at least it's provable to E. B. White.

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” - #EBWhite (died: 1 October 1985)

A classic meme format showing a bored gargoyle and one with glowing eyes. The text reads "Bok is disinterested in your proposition" and "Bok is fascinated by your reworded proposition" The reasoning is memes aren't very funny but gain power simply through a shared experience and reinforced belief, much like gargoyles I suppose. The frog reference is from the E.B White quote " Analysts have had their go at humour, and I have read some of this interpretative literature, but without being greatly instructed. Humour can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the purely scientific mind."
Because there hasn't been enough Bok recently, I have made a helpful graphic to explain how 95% of memes conceptually work.
