Then you should say what you mean, the March Hare went on. I do, Alice hastily replied at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know. Not the same thing a bit! said the Hatter. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see!

And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl Brimming over with quivering curds!
Lewis Carroll
Image
Take my friends and my home - as an outcast I'll roam: Take the money I have in the bank: It is just what I wish, but deprive me of fish, And my life would indeed be blank.
Lewis Carroll
Image
In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?
Lewis Carroll

Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.

I don't think... then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.
Lewis Carroll

If everybody minded their own business... the world would go round a deal faster than it does.
Lewis Carroll
Image
But, said Alice, the the world has absolutely no sens, who's stopping us from inventing one?

Image
Will you walk a little faster? said a whiting to a snail, There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail! See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance: They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?
Lewis Carroll
Image
And as to being in a fright, Allow me to remark That Ghosts have just as good a right In every way, to fear the light, As Men to fear the dark.

Alice: How long is forever? White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.

When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!
