In the mood for an A. A. Milne Poohism? Have you ever felt like this:
“When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.”
I love AA Milne quotes. You can find a quote for almost every situation in his books. Friends of ours even had some quotes of his in their wedding vows.
I love them too – and if I had thought of it for my wedding, I would have included them in our vows too.
I like it too, I’ll have to look up more of his quotes.
He is so wise without knowing it – I think that is what makes him such a lovable character.
Ha–Love it, Lou Ann. It seems to me Pooh is referring to things that take up so much space in our minds and then when we get them out into the “light” we realize they aren’t as big as we though. Wonderful!
nice interpretation Brigitte – the light of day does change the dark things
Oh I love this.. genius! c
Pooh, in the guise of Milne, was a genius – glad you liked it
Oh Pooh! You are so wise.
yes he is
One of my favorite Pooh quotes. I describe myself as a “bear of very little brain” too.
it does not seem to fit
That Pooh bear is the wises of the wise
