Quotes by Brian Sibley (?)

“I've been thinking, Christopher Robin,' said Pooh, 'which do you like best: old friends or new?'
Christopher Robin thought and, after a long time, said: 'Well, I like new friends because you never quite know what they'll do next. But I like old friends, too, because, however long you've known them, you are always discovering things you didn't know before.”
― Brian Sibley, The Best Bear in All the World
