Micah (juliameux) | 17 comments “I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it.” I think this isn't in the book at all, and I just reread it.

“Don't write about Man; write about a man.” I don't think this is in there either.

“Children almost always hand onto things tighter than their parents think they will.” This should have _hang_ on, not _hand_ on.

“The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year - the days when summer is changing into autumn - the crickets spread the rumour of sadness and change.” This should have em dashes (—), not hyphens, and I'm not sure that's how White spelled ‘rumor’.

There are also some duplicate quotes.
