Most famous quotes "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're m ad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6) "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat. "I don t much care where--" said Alice. "Then it doesn t matter which way you go," said the Cat. "--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation. "Oh, you re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough." (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6) (The above quote is often mistakenly referred to as: "If you don't know where yo u're going, any road will get you there." But this line is not in the Alice in W onderland books.) The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" "Come, we shall have some fun now!" thought Alice. "I'm glad they've begun aski ng riddles. I believe I can guess that," she added aloud. "Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?" said the March Hare. "Exactly so," said Alice. "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 th e 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'!" "You might just as well say," added the March Hare, "that 'I like what I get' i s the same thing as 'I get what I like'!" "You might just as well say," added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in h is sleep, "that 'I breathe when I sleep' is the same thing as 'I sleep when I br eathe'!" (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 7) "Well, in out country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally ge t to somewhere else -- if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing ." "A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else , you must run at least twice as fast as that!" (Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 2)

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." (Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 5) "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means ju st what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many differen t things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - - that's all." (Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 6)

More famous sayings "Curiouser and curiouser!" (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 2) "Who are YOU?" said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather s hyly, "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 t hen." (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 5) " Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; " but a grin with out a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever say in my life!" (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6) "Tut, tut, child!" said the Duchess. "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it." (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 9) "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 your self 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.'" "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." "That's nothing to what I could say if I chose," the Duchess replied, in a plea sed tone. "Pray don't trouble yourself to say it any longer than that," said Alice. (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 9) "Now, I e spoke; ake your (Alice's give you fair warning," shouted the Queen, stamping on the ground as sh "either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! T choice!" Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 9)

The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. "Where shall I begin, please your Majes ty?" he asked. "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to th e end: then stop."
