The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh Art and Culture Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Book Title.Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

"'What about a story?' said Christopher Robin." (Winnie-the-Pooh.1.10)

It's worth noting that the entire premise of the Pooh books operates around Milne telling improvised stories to his son. This kind of process then dominates how the characters create art throughout the tales. 

Quote #2

"Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, / Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, / Rum-tum-tiddle-um-tum, / Tiddle-iddle, tiddle-iddle, / Tuddle-iddle, tiddel-iddle, Rum-tum-tum-tiddle-um."(Winnie-the-Pooh.2.2)

Who says poetry has to be about something? Nonsense words and little ditties are valid too. Just ask the post-modernists.

Quote #3

"'Then would you read a Sustaining Book, such as would help and comfort a Wedged Bear in Great Tightness?'" (Winnie-the-Pooh.2.72)

Pooh asks for this when he's stuck in Rabbit's door. This is our first clue from Milne that art is contextual. Different pieces serve different purposes at different times. Different.
