More quotes by A. A. Milne
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

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
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
A. A. Milne

A. A. Milne
It's snowing still, said Eeyore gloomily. So it is. And freezing. Is it? Yes, said Eeyore. However, he said, brightening up a little, we haven't had an earthquake lately.
A. A. Milne
A pekingeese is not a pet dog he is an undersized lion.
A. A. Milne
To seem natural rather than to be natural.
A. A. Milne
I do remember, and then when I try to remember, I forget.
A. A. Milne
Piglet opened the letter box and climbed in. Then, having untied himself, he began to squeeze into the slit, through which in the old days when front doors were front doors, many an unexpected letter than WOL had written to himself, had come slipping.
A. A. Milne
