Alice
If it had grown up, it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.
The Cat
We're all mad here.
The Hatter
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
The Hatter
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you're at.
The Queen
Off with her head!
The Duchess
Tut, tut, child! Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.
The Duchess
Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.
The Mock Turtle
We called him Tortoise because he taught us.
The Mock Turtle
Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic -- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.
The Mock Turtle
Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.
The King
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
Alice
I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it.
The Queen
Sentence first -- verdict afterwards.
Alice
You're nothing but a pack of cards!
Alice
But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way -- never to be an old woman -- but then -- always to have lessons to learn!
Alice
A cat may look at a king. I've read that in some book, but I don't remember where.
Alice
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.
The Duchess
That's nothing to what I could say if I chose.
The Queen
Now, I give you fair warning, either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!
Alice
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
Alice
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
