Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.

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.

A. A. Milne
Christopher Robin was home by this time, because it was the afternoon, and he was so glad to see them that they stayed there until very nearly tea-time, and then they had a Very Nearly tea, which is one you forget about afterwards, and hurried on to Pooh Corner, so as to see Eeyore before it was too late to have a Proper Tea with Owl.
A. A. Milne
I wonder what Piglet is doing, thought Pooh. I wish I were there to be doing it, too.
A. A. Milne
Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.
A. A. Milne
What I like doing best is Nothing.
A. A. Milne
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
A. A. Milne
She also considered very seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds and trees a life of retirement away from the vain world a life into which no man came. It had its attractions, but she decided that gray did not suit her.
A. A. Milne
Don't talk anybody, don't come near! Can't you see the fish might hear? He thinks I'm playing with a piece of string He thinks I'm another sort of funny thing, But he doesn't know I'm fishing - He doesn't know I'm fishing. That's what I'm doing - Fishing.
A. A. Milne
The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you will - than any book ever written it has emptied more churches than all the counterattractions of cinema, motor bicycle and golf course.
