Chapter II, The Pool of Tears
"Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual, I wonder if I've changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
Chapter VI, Pig & Pepper
" '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.' "
Chapter IX, The Mock Turtle's Story
" 'Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. 'Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.' "
Chapter IX, The Mock Turtle's Story
" 'It's a vegetable. It doesn't look like one, but it is.'
'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.' "
Through the Looking-Glass
Chapter II, The Garden of Live Flowers
"The Queen propped her up against a tree, and said kindly, 'You may rest a little, now.'
Alice looked around her in great surprise. 'Why, I do believe we've been sitting under this tree the whole time! Everything's just as it was!'
'Of course it is,' said the Queen. 'What would you have it?'
'Well, in our country, said Alice, still panting a little, 'you'd generally get 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!'"
Chapter IV, Tweedledee and Tweedledum
" 'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings.' "
