Daphne Milne: I you don't think about a thing, then it ceases to exist. It's true, I read about it. It's all in Plato. It's called philosophy.
Alan Milne: Oh, philosophy. Well, I hope you know you're laughing at Plato.
Daphne Milne: Blue, life is full of frightful things. The great thing is to find something to be happy about and stick to that.
Christopher Robin Aged 8: Are you writing a book? I thought we were just having fun?
Alan Milne: We're writing a book and we're having fun.
Daphne Milne: You know what writing a book against war is like? It's like writing a book against Wednesdays. Wednesdays... are a fact of life, and if you don't like them, you could just stay in bed, but you can't stop them because Wednesdays are coming and if today isn't actually a Wednesday it soon will be.
Christopher Robin Aged 8: Well... you see, after the war there was so much sadness... that hardly anyone could remember what happines was like. Then Winnie the Pooh came along and he was like a tap. You just turned it on and happines came out.
Christopher Robin Aged 8: But I'm not Christopher Robin, really. I'm Billy Moon.
