More quotes by 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
Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!” said Piglet, feeling him. Eeyore shook himself, and asked somebody to explain to Piglet what happened when you had been inside a river for quite a long time.

A. A. Milne
Brains first and then Hard Work.
A. A. Milne

A. A. Milne
That's what Tiggers do best!
A. A. Milne
They wanted to come in after the pounds, explained Pooh, so I let them. It's the best way to write poetry, letting things come.
A. A. Milne
In a very little time they got to the corner of the field by the side of the pine wood where Eeyore's house wasn't any longer. 'There!' said Eeyore. 'Not a stick of it left! Of course, I've still got all this snow to do what I like with. One mustn't complain.
A. A. Milne
So perhaps the best thing to do is to stop writing Introductions and get on with the book.
A. A. Milne
When you wake up in the morning, Pooh, said Piglet at last, what's the first thing you say to yourself? What's for breakfast? said Pooh. What do you say, Piglet? I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today? said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. It's the same thing, he said.
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
I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true
A. A. Milne
Nowhere can I think so happily as in a train.
A. A. Milne
