Can you place this quote?

KillarneyRose · #1 08-31-2003, 08:19 PM

Can someone PLEASE help me out here? I've had parts of a quote running through my head all day and I can't quite remember the whole thing. It goes something like:

"It isn't often you find a very good......who is also a very good friend."

I'm not certain, but I *think* it is from AA Milne (Winnie the Pooh)? I tried to do an Internet search but I am hideously bad at Internet searches.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I know I've read that somewhere...but I can't place it, either!

There's a bunch of internet sites that have quote collections--you might find them by doing a search for "famous quotes" or something and it will turn up some of them. I'm usually really good at nosing up information, but unfortunately I haven't had to look up many quotes!

So did I and it was a really girly quote and made me pissed off I read it.

Is it from Lord of the Rings?

maybe the lotr books, which have a ton more stuff, than the crappy movies.

Optimist Prime · #7 09-01-2003, 12:27 PM

Sounds like a Winnie the Pooh quote. Don't know from which book though.

Imthachamp · #9 09-01-2003, 02:02 PM

the lotr movies are awesome.

Yeah, I think it may be Winnie the Pooh. Sounds familiar.

Cute Winnie the Pooh quote - "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus a day, so I never have to be without you."

I *LOVE* that quote!

Back to the search..

I'm thinking it's "Charlotte's Web" - something to the effect of being a good friend and a good writer. "Charlotte was both."

Don't have the book at home, but can check tomorrow at work.

WOW THAT'S A LOT.

It's the last 2 sentences in Charlotte's Web:

"It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both."

A library degree comes in handy, even on GC.
