More quotes by 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
You gave me Christopher Robin, and then You breathed new life in Pooh. Whatever of each has left my pen Goes homing back to you. My book is ready, and comes to greet The mother it longs to see -- It would be my present to you, my sweet, If it weren't your gift to me.
A. A. Milne
Some people care too much. I think it's called love.
A. A. Milne
Eeyore, the old grey donkey, stood by the side of the stream and looked at himself in the water. Pathetic, he said. That's what it is. Pathetic.
A. A. Milne
Friendship, said Christopher Robin, is a very comforting thing to have.
A. A. Milne
I suppose that by this time they had finished their dressing. Roger Scurvilegs tells us nothing on such important matters no doubt from modesty. Next morning they rose, he says, and disappoints us of a picture of Udo brushing his hair.
A. A. Milne
It is hard to be brave, when you're only a Very Small Animal.
A. A. Milne
So perhaps the best thing to do is to stop writing Introductions and get on with the book.
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
How long does getting thin take?
A. A. Milne
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.
