Quite possibly the world’s most recognizable pessimistic grey donkey, these Eeyore quotes illustrate just how sad, and snarky he is.
Eeyore is known for losing his tail and being the gloomy friend in the group. The group being Winnie-the-Pooh and all the crew from Pooh’s Corner, created by A.A. Milne.
I was “yesterday years old” when I realized that he is an onomatopoeic character. Eeyore is an adaptation of the sound that donkeys make (Hee-Haw).
It is spelled with an “r” because of Milne’s English dialect. These Eeyore quotes illustrate just how sad, and snarky he is.

Which of these Eeyore quotes is your favorite?
Eeyore exhibits some signs of clinical depression and anxiety to be sure. You probably would too if it rained everywhere you went and your tail wouldn’t stay put!
There were clearly times he could have been a little kinder to his friends, and times they could have been nicer to him.
I do think he has some of the best quotes in the series, though. Maybe he was intended to add a little adult humor, or balance out all of the eternal optimism that is Pooh?
Either way, Eeyore is one of the most well-loved characters. I think I need to purchase some Eeyore merchandise with his writing quotes on it.
That spoke to me, and hopefully, some of these spoke to you as well!
