• Christopher Robin was home by this time, because it was the afternoon, and he was so glad to see them that they stayed there until very nearly tea-time, and then they had a Very Nearly tea, which is one you forget about afterwards, and hurried on to Pooh Corner, so as to see Eeyore before it was too late to have a Proper Tea with Owl.

• This book is entirely dedicated to my wife, Robin Sullivan. Some have asked how it is I write such strong women without resorting to putting swords in their hands. It is because of her. She is Arista. She is Thrace. She is Modina. She is Amilia. And she is my Gwen. This series has been a tribute to her. This is your book, Robin. I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world. --ELTON JOHN, BERNIE TAUPIN

• Hark, I hear a robin calling!
  List, the wind is from the south!
  And the orchard-bloom is falling
  Sweet as kisses on the mouth.
  
  In the dreamy vale of beeches
  Fair and faint is woven mist,
  And the river's orient reaches
  Are the palest amethyst.
  
  Every limpid brook is singing
  Of the lure of April days;
  Every piney glen is ringing
  With the maddest roundelays.
  
  Come and let us seek together
  Springtime lore of daffodils,
  Giving to the golden weather
  Greeting on the sun-warm hills.

• Gone were but the Winter,
  Come were but the Spring,
  I would go to a covert
  Where the birds sing;
  
  Where in the whitethorn
  Singeth a thrush,
  And a robin sings
  In the holly-bush.
  
  Full of fresh scents
  Are the budding boughs
  Arching high over
  A cool green house:
  
  Full of sweet scents,
  And whispering air
  Which sayeth softly:
  We spread no snare;
  
  Here dwell in safety,
  Here dwell alone,
  With a clear stream
  And a mossy stone.
  
  Here the sun shineth
  Most shadily;
  Here is heard an echo
  Of the far sea,
  Though far off it be.

• I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin (his wife). When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big Silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined.

• Oh, father's gone to market-town, he was up before the day,
  And Jamie's after robins, and the man is making hay,
  And whistling down the hollow goes the boy that minds the mill,
  While mother from the kitchen door is calling with a will,
  "Polly!-Polly!-
  The cows are in the corn!
  Oh, where's Polly?"

• I remember, I remember
  The roses, red and white,
  The violets, and the lily-cups,
  Those flowers made of light!
  The lilacs, where the robin built,
  And where my brother set
  The laburmum on his birthday,-
  The tree is living yet.

• No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of 'Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,' but never, 'Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.' They're only talking about the one that bent over. So, obviously there's a double standard.

• When I was five, a tree was my best friend. An old peppercorn on Grandpa's little farm. I'd haul myself into its calloused arms and hide from the world in its foliage. Apart from the pleasure of looking down on unsuspecting adults, I could be Robin Hood in a one-tree Sherwood Forest or Johnny Weissmuller in his jungle. I fell out of my friend once while Tarzan-ing. Gashed a large chunk from a leg. Almost 70 years later, there's still a scar.

• It's not hard to be sexy when you're standing in front of Angelina Jolie or Robin Wright Penn. They're two of the most beautiful women in the world and two of the finest actresses. I think that if you're with people who are good in your profession they become sexy because they're good at what they do. I enjoyed being 6ft 6ins, having an eight pack and a long todger, you know? If I fold mine in half it's the same length!

• There was a filmy veil of soft dull mist obscuring, but not hiding, all objects, giving them a lilac hue, for the sun had not yet fully set; a robin was singing ... The leaves were more gorgeous than ever; the first touch of frost would lay them all low to the ground. Already one or two kept constantly floating down, amber and golden in the low slanting sun-rays.

• There is no waste in functioning natural ecosystems. All organisms, dead or alive, are potential sources of food for other organisms. A caterpillar eats a leaf; a robin eats the caterpillar; a hawk eats the robin. When the plant, caterpillar, robin, and hawk die, they are in turn consumed by decomposers.
