“Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.
鈥淧athetic,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what it is. Pathetic.鈥�
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.
鈥淎s I thought,鈥� he said. 鈥淣o better from THIS side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that鈥檚 what it is.鈥�
There was a crackling noise in the bracken behind him, and out came Pooh.
鈥淕ood morning, Eeyore,鈥� said Pooh.
鈥淕ood morning, Pooh Bear,鈥� said Eeyore gloomily. 鈥淚f it IS a good morning,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hich I doubt,鈥� said he.
鈥淲hy, what鈥檚 the matter?鈥�
鈥淣othing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can鈥檛 all, and some of us don鈥檛. That鈥檚 all there is to it.鈥�
鈥淐an鈥檛 all WHAT?鈥� said Pooh, rubbing his nose.
鈥淕aiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush. ...I鈥檓 not complaining, but There It Is.”

“I look in the glass sometimes at my two long, cylindrical bags (so picturesquely rugged about the knees), my stand-up collar and billycock hat, and wonder what right I have to go about making God's world hideous. Then wild and wicked thoughts come into my heart. I don't want to be good and respectable. (I never can be sensible, I'm told; so that don't matter.) I want to put on lavender-colored tights, with red velvet breeches and a green doublet slashed with yellow; to have a light-blue silk cloak on my shoulder, and a black eagle's plume waving from my hat, and a big sword, and a falcon, and a lance, and a prancing horse, so that I might go about and gladden the eyes of the people. Why should we all try to look like ants crawling over a dust-heap? Why shouldn't we dress a little gayly? I am sure if we did we should be happier. True, it is a little thing, but we are a little race, and what is the use of our pretending otherwise and spoiling fun? Let philosophers get themselves up like old crows if they like. But let me be a butterfly.”

“Demetrius the grammarian finding in the temple of Delphos a knot of philosophers set chatting together, said to them, 鈥淓ither I am much deceived,
or by your cheerful and pleasant countenances, you are engaged in no very deep discourse.鈥� To which one of them, Heracleon the Megarean, replied: 鈥� 鈥橳is for such as are puzzled about inquiring whether the future tense of the verb Ballo be spelt with a
double L, or that hunt after the derivation of the comparatives Cheirou and Beltiou, and the superlatives Cheiriotou and Beliotou, to knit their brows whilst discoursing of their science; but as to philosophical discourses, they always divert and cheer up those that entertain them, and never deject them or make them sad.”

“Without inquiring too deeply into the causes which make it possible to find subjects of gaiety always close at hand, the proof of that possibility can be found in the fact that persons of sensitive intelligence are capable of finding comic potentialities in everything and everybody, thereby demonstrating that if some people hold the belief that there is very little that is laughable in the world, the reason is that they lack the ability to find it.”

“While it was impossible to be formal and reserved in her company, it was more than impossible to take the faintest vestige of a liberty with her, even in thought. I felt this instinctively, even while I caught the infection of her own bright gaiety of spirits--even while I did my best to answer her in her own frank, lively way.”

“The gaiety in love is a myth, because it's all TEMPORARY. The misery in love is an undeniable fact, as the bruises stays PERMENANTLY in the heart.”

“America, like England and Scotland, had never really been a gay nation. Rather it had been heavily and noisily jocular, with a substratum of worry and insecurity, in the image of its patron saint, Lincoln of the rollicking stories and the tragic heart. But at least there had been hearty greetings, man to man; there had been clamorous jazz for dancing, and the lively, slangy catcalls of young people, and the nervous blatting of tremendous traffic.”

“La plus violente douleur qu'on puisse 茅prouver, certes, est la perte d'un enfant pour une m猫re, et la perte de la m猫re pour un homme. Cela est violent, terrible, cela bouleverse et d茅chire; mais on gu茅rit de ces catastrophes comme des larges blessures saignantes. Or, certaines rencontres, certaines choses entr'aper莽ues, devin茅es, certains chagrins secrets, certaines perfidies du sort, qui remuent en nous tout un monde douloureux de pens茅es, qui entr'ouvrent devant nous brusquement la porte myst茅rieuse des souffrances morales, compliqu茅es, incurables, d'autant plus profondes qu'elles semblent b茅nignes, d'autant plus cuisantes qu'elles semblent presque insaisissables, d'autant plus tenaces qu'elles semblent factices, nous laissent 脿 l'芒me comme une tra卯n茅e, un go没t d'amertume, une sensation de d茅senchantement dont nous sommes longtemps 脿 nous d茅barrasser.”
