childhood haunts

  
“Only a few find the way, some don’t recognize it when they do, some…don’t ever want to.” – Lewis Carroll

The Cheshire Cat was always my favorite character from Alice in Wonderland – hunorous, strangely wise, and enigmatic.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

The proper order of things is often a mystery to me. You, too?

Here’s a riddle: When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I’ll tell you: Whenever you want it to be.

——–

And my favorite passages from the book.

“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,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
