10 Quotes From A.A. Milne and Winnie-the-Pooh

/0 Comments/in /by

One of the most delightful takeaways from A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh is how much the characters, especially Pooh and Piglet love each other. When picking quotes for this month, I focused on their relationship. I admire how open they are with their gushy feelings. I’d do this more in real life if my I knew that my friends wouldn’t just turn around and call me a giant dork for being such an emotional drip around them. A. A. Milne sure knows how to make friends feel loved.

10 Quotes From Charles Dickens & A Christmas Carol

/1 Comment/in /by

Charles Dickens was a prolific writer penning novels, short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. Choosing just 10 quotes to feature was difficult because of the sheer number of great things he said and wrote. This month I tried to pick quotes that were nice and elicited a bashful “aww shucks” when I read them. Of course, a few darker selections made their way into the top 10 as well.

Check out these quotes and then come celebrate A Christmas Carol with the Bushwick Book Club on December 18 or 19th. There are two shows featuring different performers so each show will be unique.
