And to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading.

“Hello, Pooh,” said Rabbit. “Hallo, Rabbit,” said Pooh dreamily. “Did you make that song up?” “Well, I sort of made it up,” said Pooh. It comes to me sometimes.” “Ah!” said Rabbit, who never let things come to him, but always went and fetched them. ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivaton

You can’t take Pooh to school without everybody knowing it, but Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comforting to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice 7 is 12 or 22. He has got more education than Pooh, but Pooh doesn’t mind. ~A.A.Milne

They got up; and when Piglet had sat down again, because he didn’t know the wind was so strong, and had been helped up by Pooh, they went to Kanga’s house, holding on to each other, and shouting, “Isn’t it?” and “What?” and “I can’t hear.” ~A.A.Milne #windy #storm

“Wenceslas was perhaps the most beloved King who ever lived. He was a Prince of Peace. I think that to have lived so long ago, and ever since to have been a song on the lips of the world, just because he was gentle, is a wonderful thing to have happened.” ~A.A.Milne #Christmas

246 years ago today, #JaneAusten was born. She was a writer known primarily for her six novels. Her use of irony, humour and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among scholars. She remains one of the most successful writers of all times. WE LOVE YOU JANE AUSTEN! 🎉🎉
