23 Quotes To Remember From 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'

Lewis Carroll was a man of many talents. He was an English teacher, a mathematician, logician, a deacon and even a photographer. Carroll's story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" took us off to a world unfamiliar to our own. A world where flowers and rabbits talk, where everyone is "mad," there is an evil queen, a cat and a caterpillar give riddles and much, much more. Alice took us on a unique and wonderfully mad adventure with her and reminded us all to believe and trust in our selves, magic and imagination. Any time you are needing to be reassured about magic, adventure and believing in oneself, be sure to read these "Alice in Wonderland" quotes.


1. “'Begin at the beginning,' the King said, very gravely, 'and go on till you come to the end: then stop.'”

2. “Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

3. “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."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

4. “Curiouser and curiouser!”

5. “If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.”

6. “Have I gone mad?

"I'm afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.”

7. Alice: "How long is forever?"

White Rabbit: "Sometimes, just one second.”

8. “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

9. “I wonder if I've been 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!”

10. “How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another.”

11. "It's always tea time.”

12. “Why is a raven like a writing desk?”

13. “We're all mad here. Im mad. You're mad.”

14. “Look after the senses and the sounds will look after themselves.”

15. “Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to...”

16. “What a strange world we live in."

17. “Who are you?”

18. “Keep your temper."

19. "I don't see how he can ever finish, if he doesn't begin.”

20. “'If you knew Time as well as I do,’ said the Hatter, ‘you wouldn’t talk about wasting it.'"

21. “If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.”

22. “Flamingos and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is -- 'Birds of a feather flock together.'"

23. “You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution to their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic.”

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
