| 8976170 | It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that, whatever you say to them, they ALWAYS purr. 'If they would only purr for "yes" and mew for "no," or any rule of that sort,' she had said, 'so that one could keep up a conversation! But how CAN you talk with a person if they always say the same thing?" -- | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 2fe986f | O Mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming about here, O Mouse!' (Alice thought this must be the right way of speaking to a mouse: she had never done such a thing before, but she remembered having seen in her brother's Latin Grammar, 'A mouse--of a mouse--to a mouse--a mouse--O mouse!') | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 65f3287 | 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. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| a424fd5 | Alicia, y continuo. "?Me dirias, por favor, que camino deberia tomar desde aqui?" "Eso depende en gran parte de a donde quieres ir", dijo el Gato. "No importa mucho donde--", dijo Alicia. "Entonces no importa que camino tomas", dijo el Gato. "--siempre y cuando llegue a alguna parte", agrego Alicia a manera de explicacion. "Oh, eso ocurrira, sin duda", dijo el Gato, "si .. | Lewis Carroll | ||

| 2de79ec | What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and Equators, Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?" So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply "They are merely conventional signs!" | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 8627984 | I should see the garden far better," said Alice to herself, "if I could get to the top of that hill: and here's a path that leads straight to it--at least, no it doesn't do that--" (after going a few yards along the path, and turning several sharp corners), "but I suppose it will at last. But how curiously it twists! It's more like a corkscrew than a path! Well, this turn goes to the hill, I suppose--no, it doesn't! This goes straight back .. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 61b47a9 | Consider what a great girl you are. Consider what a long way you've come to-day. Consider what o'clock it is. Consider anything, only don't cry! | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 9d58ed7 | Books say: she did this because. Life says: she did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.' A story reflects life but also redeems it: assembled on the page, even unpredictable events can be plotted, their random scatter made part of a meaningful design. | Robert Douglas-Fairhurst | ||
| 5028a0a | thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation?" So she was considering, in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing" | Lewis Carroll | ||

| 2c3d9b3 | No use, no use!' said the King. 'She runs so fearfully quick. You might as well try to catch a Bandersnatch! But I'll make a memorandum about her, if you like-she's a dear good creature,' he repeated softly to himself, as he opened his memorandum-book. 'Do you spell "creature" with a double "e"?" | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 012a7b2 | In logic class, I opened my textbook--the last place I was expecting to find comic inspiration--and was startled to find that Lewis Carroll, the supremely witty author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, was also a logician. He wrote logic textbooks and included argument forms based on the syllogism, normally presented in logic books this way: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. _________________________________ Therefore, Socrates is m.. | Steve Martin | ||

| 660e6c6 | Just look down the road and tell me if you can see either of them." "I see nobody on the road." said Alice. "I only wish I had such eyes,"the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at such a distance too!" === "Who did you pass on the road?" the King went on, holding out his hand to the Messenger for some more hay. "Nobody," said the Messenger. "Quite right," said the King; "this young lady saw him too. So of course.. | Lewis Carroll | ||

| 7ad360d | Bas asagiyken nasil boyle rahat konusabiliyorsunuz?' diye sordu Alice, bu sirada ayaklarindan onu cekip, kenardaki yiginin uzerine uzatti. Sovalye bu soru karsisinda cok sasirmisti. 'Bedenimin nerede oldugunun ne onemi var ki?' dedi. 'Benim kafam yine ayni sekilde calisiyor. Isin dogrusu, ne kadar bas asagidaysam, o kadar cok yeni seyler kesfedebiliyorum. | carrol şövalye | Lewis Carrol | |

| 14ee8b3 | Bu,' diye dusundu Alice, 'hicbir seyin adinin olmadigi koru olmali. Oraya gidersem, acaba benim adima ne olacak. Adsiz kalmak hic de hosuma gitmez...cunku o zaman bana baska bir isim vermek zorunda kalacaklar, bu da hic kusku yok ki cirkin bir ad olacak. Ama o zaman da eski adimi alan yaratigi bulmaya calisirken ne eglenirim dogrusu!

| 3630690 | 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! | lewis-carroll through-the-looking-glass | Lewis Carroll | |
| 568fe13 | Kral'in basinda puskullu kirmizi uzun bir kulah vardi; perperisan bir yigin gibi cokup kalmisti; yuksek sesle horlayip duruyordu; Tumbadiz'in deyimiyle neredeyse girtlagi catlayacakti. Cok ince ve dusunceli bir kizcagiz olan Alice, 'Umarim bu islak cimende usutmez,' dedi. 'Su an dus goruyor,' dedi Tumbadik. 'Sence dusunde ne goruyor?' 'Kim bunu bilebilir ki!' dedi Alice.

'Sen de tipki diger insanlar gibisin,' dedi. 'Insanlar genellikle yuzlerinden taninirlar,' dedi Alice dusunceli bir ses tonuyla. 'Iste benim yakindigim sey de bu ya,' dedi Yumurta Adam.

| 7bae31c | She knew for a fact that being left-handed automatically made you special. Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling, and Albert Schweitzer were all left-handed. Of course, no believable scientific theory could rest on such a small group of people. When Lindsay probed further, however, more proof emerged. Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, M.C.

| 689731a | Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will - whatever we may think. They flower spontaneously out of the demands of our natures - and the best of them lead us not only outwards in space, but inwards as well.

| fb48664 | Did I think then, or do I believe later, that the vision was in any sense a direct call to me from God or some other intelligent force in nature? Was it a gesture uniquely intended to draw me near? Near to whom and for what? Am I ready to say, at this late point in my life, that I was singled out in childhood for special attention from God?
