Quotes From Alice in Wonderland
Quotes From Alice in Wonderland Here are some of the best conversations between Alice and other charactersà in Alice in Wonderland. These quotes are humorous, yet enlightening, containing both satire and wisdom. Alice and The Caterpillar Caterpillar: Who are YOU? Alice: This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. 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. The Duchess I quite agree with you. And the moral of that is: Be what you would seem to be, or if youd 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. à Alice and The Cheshire Cat Alice: But I dont want to go among mad people. The Cat: Oh, you cant help that. Were all mad here. Im mad. Youre mad. Alice: How do you know Im mad? The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldnt have come here. Alice: And how do you know that youre mad? The Cat: To begin with, a dogs not mad. You grant that? Alice: I suppose so, The Cat: Well, then, you see, a dog growls when its angry, and wags its tail when its pleased. Now I growl when Im pleased, and wag my tail when Im angry. Therefore Im mad. Alice and The Mad Hatterà Alice: Ive had nothing yet, so I cant take more. The Hatter: You mean you cant take less; its very easy to take more than nothing. Alice and The White Queen The White Queen: Can you do addition? Whats one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one? Alice: I dont know. I lost count. à Alice, The Gryphon, and The Mock Turtle Alice: And how many hours a day did you do lessons? The Mock Turtle: Ten hours the first day, nine the next, and so on. Alice: What a curious plan! The Gryphon: Thats the reason theyre called lessons, because they lessen from day to day.
