A Fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.

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.

What ever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.

What I like doing best is Nothing.

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.

So perhaps the best thing to do is to stop writing Introductions and get on with the book.

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
