Through the Looking-Glass

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place."

"I'm a Prisoner!"

"Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow."

"What is the use of repeating all that stuff?"

"How I wish I could shut up like a telescope!"

"Then you admit it?"

"I am real! You are not!"

"You've been rude enough."

"That's the effect of living backwards."

"All kinds of nonsense!"

"What a waste it is to do nothing all day."

"This must be the wood where things have no names."

"The Messenger's in prison now, being punished for next week."

"But you're so exactly like other people."

"We must have a bit of a fight, but I don't care about going on long."

"Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be."

"I can explain all the poems that were ever invented—and a good many that haven't been invented just yet."

"There's glory for you!"

"When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"Why, you might make a joke on that."

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."
