“What I like best in the whole world is Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying, “What about a little something?” And Me saying, ‘Well, I shouldn’t mind a little something, should you, Piglet,’ and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and birds singing.” #SaturdayMorning
Pooh was so busy not looking where he was going that he stepped on a piece of the Forest which had been left out by mistake; and he only had time to think to himself:
“I’m flying. What Owl does.
I wonder how you stop -” when he stopped. BUMP! ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeeling
'In life there are two ways of navigating: take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it. There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push.' ~C.R.Milne #thursdaymorning
You remember how Pooh discovered the North Pole; well he was so proud of this that he went out to discover the East Pole by himself. Whether he discovered it or not, I forget; but he was so tired when he got home that he fell asleep, and slept and slept. ~A.A.Milne #EasterHoliday
I go to a party, I go out to tea,
I go to an aunt for a week at the sea,
I come back from school or from playing a game;
Wherever I come from, it’s always the same:
“Well?
Have you been a GOOD girl, Jane?” ~A.A.Milne #EasterHolidays
We curl up and go to sleep... and Pooh, too, closes his eyes and nods his head, and follows us on tiptoe into the Forest. There, we have magic adventures; but when we wake up in the morning, they are gone before we can catch hold of them. ~A.A.Milne #adventures
When I wake up
On Easter Day,
I shall see my egg
She's promised to lay.
If I were Emperors,
If I were Kings,
It couldn't be fuller
Of wonderful things.

Looking very calm, very dignified, with his legs in the air, came Eeyore from beneath the bridge.
“It’s Eeyore!” cried Roo, terribly excited. “I didn’t know you were playing.”
“I’m not,” said Eeyore.
“He’s going ROUND and ROUND,” said Roo, much impressed.

The Little Black Hen said, 'What will you pay,
If I lay you an egg
For Easter Day?
'I'll give you a Please
And a How-do-you-do,
I'll show you a Bear
Who lives in the Zoo,
I'll show you the nettle-place
On my leg,
If you'll lay me a great big
Eastery egg.
