The Top 10 Quotes from Alice In Wonderland
The folks at www.raintowers.com, in promoting the e-book 101 Famous Quotes from Alice in Wonderland, as compiled by Australian freelance writer Tuula Olin, provided their own Top 10 Alice Quotes. In ascending order those are:
10. "Speak English! I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and I don't believe you do either!" –Eaglet
9. "You're nothing but a pack of cards!" –Alice
8. "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it." —The Duchess
7. "Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense." —The Mock Turtle
6. "Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!" —White Rabbit
5. "Off with her head!" —Queen of Hearts
4. "Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop." —The King
3. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" —The Mad Hatter
2. "Curiouser and curiouser." –Alice
The number one quote comes from a conversation between Cheshire Cat and Alice. The grinning Cheshire Cat is giving directions to Alice and tells what sort of people live in each direction in the woods.
Then he discloses as a matter of fact that:1. “We’re all mad here.”—Cheshire Cat
We'd say Raintower did a good job, but there should be room somewhere for the Duchess's memorable and oh-so-timely observation:
"If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does."
Ain’t it the truth? Ain’t it the truth?
