“I think I should understand that better,” Alice said very politely, “`if I had it written down: but I can’t quite follow it as you say it.” “I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess “and the moral of that is–‘Be what you would seem to be’–or if you’d like it put more simply–‘Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.'” (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 9) “Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.” (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 7) “You might just as well say,” added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, “that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!” “You might just as well say,” added the March Hare, “that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!” “You might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “I do,” Alice hastily replied “at least–at least I mean what I say–that’s the same thing, you know.”
“Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on. “Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?” said the March Hare. I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud. “Come, we shall have some fun now!” thought Alice. The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this but all he said was, “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?” Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen.
“There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe impossible things.” (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 5)Īlice laughed. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I–I hardly know, sir, just at present– at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 10) ‘I could tell you my adventures–beginning from this morning,’ said Alice a little timidly: ‘but it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.’ “Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.” “–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6) “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. “But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
