The things that make me different are the things that make me.
A. A. Milne
The hardest part is what to leave behind, ... It's time to let go!
A. A. Milne
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
Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.
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
But it isn't easy,' said Pooh. 'Because Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.

But, of course, it isn't really Good-bye, because the Forest will always be there... and anybody who is Friendly with Bears can find it.
A. A. Milne
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.
A. A. Milne
Brains first and then Hard Work.
A. A. Milne
Gone out. Backson. Busy backson.
A. A. Milne
Ideas may drift into other minds, but they do not drift my way. I have to go and fetch them. I know no work manual or mental to equal the appalling heart-breaking anguish of fetching an idea from nowhere.
A. A. Milne
If possible, try to find a way to come downstairs that doesn't involve going bump, bump, bump, on the back of your head.
A. A. Milne
Pooh, said Rabbit kindly, you haven't any brain. I know, said Pooh humbly.
A. A. Milne
The difficulty in the way of writing a children's play is that Barrie was born too soon. Many people must have felt the same about Shakespeare. We who came later have no chance. What fun to have been Adam, and to have had the whole world of plots and jokes and stories at one's disposal.
A. A. Milne
When we asked Pooh what the opposite of an Introduction was, he said The what of a what? which didn't help us as much as we had hoped, but luckily Owl kept his head and told us that the Opposite of an Introduction, my dear Pooh, was a Contradiction and, as he is very good at long words, I am sure that that's what it is.
A. A. Milne
