You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution to their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic.
If you knew time as well as I, you wouldn't *dream* of wasting it!
There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.[picks up his hat] Which luckily I am.
Have I gone mad?[Alice checks Hatter's temperature] Alice Kingsley: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
Alice Kingsley: This is impossible. The Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.
The Mad Hatter: Your carriage, my lady. Alice Kingsley: A hat? The Mad Hatter: Of course. Anyone can go by horse or rail, but the absolute best way to travel is by hat. Have I made a rhyme?
Alice: I have a little money, but I understand you don't use that here. Hatter: Pieces of paper! [whispers] Hatter: Pointless.
Alice: Who are you? Hatter: A friend. I hope.
Alice: Who are those poor people? Hatter: Refugees. Those who don't want to be a part of the Queen's world of instant gratification. We give them shelter and try feed them the best we can, but it is dangerous. If the Queen found out, they wouldn't stand a chance. Alice: Why does she want to destroy all of this? Hatter: Wisdom is her biggest threat.
White Knight: Alice of Legend, your presence in this world is no accident. You are here for a reason.
Lady Ascot: Imbeciles! The garden is planted with white roses when I've specifically asked the red. Alice Kingsley: You can always paint the roses red.
Blue Caterpillar: I can't help you if you don't even know who you are, stupid girl.
Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.
'Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.'
'And how many hours a day did you do lessons?' said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject. 'Ten hours the first day,' said the Mock Turtle: 'nine the next, and so on.' 'What a curious plan!' exclaimed Alice. 'That's the reason they're called lessons,' the Gryphon remarked: 'because they lessen from day to day.'
'It's really dreadful' She muttered to herself, 'The way all the creatures argue. It's enough to drive one crazy!'
'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
'If everybody minded their own business,' the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, 'the world would go round a deal faster than it does.'
At any rate, there's no harm in trying
'If there's no meaning in it,' said the King, 'that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any.
At last the Dodo said, 'everybody has won, and all must have prizes.'
