Alice in Wonderland

I was watching Alice in Wonderland tonight, and I picked up on some interesting quotes, so...

Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more...
March Hare: Ahh, you mean you can't very well take less!
Mad Hatter: Yes! You can always take more than nothing!

Mad Hatter: Oh. Oh, my goodness! Those are the things that upset me!
March Hare: See all the trouble you've started?
Alice: But really, I didn't think...
March Hare: Ah, but that's the point! If you don't think, you shouldn't talk!

Caterpillar: Hmm! How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail. And pour the waters of the Nile, on every golden scale. How cheerfully he seems to grin, how neatly spreads his claws. And welcomes little fishes in, with gently smiling jaws.

"talk of other things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings. Callooh, callay, no work today! We're cabbages and kings!"

I like this 'cause it's symbolic:
Sister: Alice...! Will you kindly pay attention to your history lesson?
Alice: I'm sorry, but how can one possibly pay attention to a book with no pictures in it?
Sister: My dear child, there are a great many good books in this world without pictures.
Alice: In this world perhaps. But in my world, the books would be nothing but pictures.
Sister: Your world? Huh, what nonsense. Now...

I bid thee goodnight...

love is a sacred act
love is like sand
love trickles through my fingers,
slips from my hand...
