Owl lived at The Chestnuts, an old-world residence of great charm, which was grander than any body else’s, or so it seemed to Bear, because it had both a knocker AND a bell-pull. Underneath the knocker there was a notice which said: PLES RING IF AN RNSER IS REQIRD. ~A.A.Milne

Bring enchanted, it was the only place in the Forest where you could sit down carelessly, without getting up again almost at once and looking for somewhere else. Sitting there they could see the whole world spread out until it reached the sky. ~A.A.Milne

"Hills and valleys are unchanging: the lane still follows the ancient track that men have walked for a thousand years. And each year the seasons return. We may lose faith in mankind but we can never lose faith in the opening bud or the falling leaf." ~C.R.Milne #nature

“Piglet,” said Pooh, “we’re going on an Expotition. To discover something.”
“To discover what?” said Piglet anxiously. “Nothing fierce?”
“Christopher Robin didn’t say anything about fierce. He said it had an ‘x’.”

@daveainsworth63 I remember reading a crime novel of his. It was called 'To Nick A Good Body'.

Pooh took a large lick. “Yes,” he said. “It is honey. And honey, I should say, right down to the bottom of the jar. Unless, of course, somebody put cheese in at the bottom for a joke. Perhaps I’d better go a LITTLE further… just in case Heffalumps don’t like cheese.” ~A.A.Milne
