6 Christopher Robin Milne Father Quotes

Christopher Robin Milne
” When a child is small, it is his mother who is mainly responsible for the way he is brought up. So it was with me. I belonged in those days to my mother rather than my father. “


” In pessimistic moments, when I was trudging London in search of an employer wanting to make use of such talents as I could offer, it seemed to me, almost, that my father had got to where he was by climbing upon my infant shoulders, that he had filched from me my good name and had left me with nothing but the empty fame of being his son. “


” My father did not drink beer. He said he didn’t like the taste, and I was prepared to accept that I wouldn’t like the taste either. So I stuck to bottled cider. “


” My father had always hoped that one day I would be a great cricketer, captaining the Stowe Eleven, perhaps, or even playing for Cambridge. “


” My father was an individualist, and I took after him. At school, however, one is forced to be gregarious. I didn’t resent this, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it, and whenever I could, I withdrew into my own private world. “


” When I was three, my father was three. When I was six, he was six… he needed me to escape from being 50. “
