Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
- And what is the use of abook without pictures or conversations?
- Alice ventured to taste it, and, finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavor of cherrytart, custard, pine apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast), she very soon finished it off.
- One side will make you grow taller, and other side will make you grow shorter.
- The Cat only grinned then it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claw and a great many teeth, so she fet that it ought to be treated with respect.
- "Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!"
- "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. "Why, you might just as 'I eat what I see'!"
"You might just as well say," added the Dormouse, which seemed to be talling in its sleep, "that 'I breathe when I sleep' is the same thing as 'I sleep when I breathe'!"
"It is the same thing with you."
- Maybe it's always pepper that makes people hot-tempered and vinegar that makes them sour - and camomile that makes them bitter - and - and barleysugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew that.
- Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.
- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might apper to other that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
