More quotes by A. A. Milne
And how are you? said Winnie-the-Pooh. Eeyore shook his head from side to side. Not very how, he said. I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time. Dear, dear, said Pooh, I'm sorry about that. Let's have a look at you.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, Why? and sometimes he thought, Wherefore? and sometimes he thought, Inasmuch as which? and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking
A. A. Milne
I suppose that by this time they had finished their dressing. Roger Scurvilegs tells us nothing on such important matters no doubt from modesty. Next morning they rose, he says, and disappoints us of a picture of Udo brushing his hair.
A. A. Milne
It gets you nowhere if the other person's tail is only just in sight for the second half of the conversation.
A. A. Milne
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
