Now then, Pooh, said Christopher Robin, where's your boat? I ought to say, explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island, that it isn't just an ordinary sort of boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident. It all depends. Depends on what? On whether I'm on the top of it or underneath it.

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.
A. A. Milne
I'll give you three guesses, Rabbit. Digging holes in the ground? Wrong. Leaping from branch to branch of a young oak tree? Wrong. Waiting for somebody to help me out of the river? Right. Give Rabbit time, and he'll always get the answer.
A. A. Milne
Why does a silly bird go on saying chiff-chaff all day long? Is it happiness or hiccups?
A. A. Milne

Well, said Pooh, what I like best, and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
A. A. Milne
She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbor: Winter is dead.
A. A. Milne
A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.
