"After all, what are birthdays? Here today and gone tomorrow."
Eeyore from "The House at Pooh Corner" by A. A. Milne

"No Give and Take. No Exchange of Thought. It gets you nowhere, particularly if the other person's tail is only just in sight for the second half of the conversation."
Eeyore from "The House at Pooh Corner" by A. A. Milne

"When stuck in the river, it is best to dive and swim to the bank yourself before someone drops a large stone on your chest in an attempt to hoosh you there."
Eeyore from "Eeyore's gloomy Little Instruction Book" by A. A. Milne

'And how are you?' said Winnie-the-Pooh.

Eeyore shook his head from side to side. .'Not very how,' he said. 'I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time.'

"Why, what's the matter?"

"Nothing Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all there is to it"

"Can't all what?" said Pooh, rubbing his nose.

"Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush."

"Oh!" said Pooh. He thought for a long time, and then asked, "What mulberry bush is that?"

"Bon-hommy," went on Eeyore gloomily. "French word for meaning bonhommy," he explained. "I'm not complaining, but There It Is."
