How Do You Do Quotes

“And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side.
"Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time."
"Dear, dear," said Pooh, "I'm sorry about that. Let's have a look at you.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“Isn't funny how we're quick to call everybody in the phone book,
To tell them about the death of someone we all knew?
But never once called that person,
While they were still alive to ask "How do you do?”
― Charmaine J. Forde
