So long, and thanks for all the Quotes!

It's been a fun experiment, and I would like to thank all the folks who have contributed favorite KidLit quotes. But I haven't acquired enough quotes to keep things rolling here, and don't have time to dig for more myself on a regular basis.

"Tigger."

"Ah!" said Eeyore.

"He's just come," explained Piglet.

"Ah!" said Eeyore again.

He thought for a long time and then said:
