I don't know about you but I've just never grown out of the whimsical craziness of Alice in Wonderland...it's so absolutely insane yet so undeniably insightful that it never ceases to capture me. From Lewis Carroll to Walt Disney to Johnny Depp it is most certainly one of my most beloved stories and one of my favourite fantasy concepts. Here are just a few of my favourite excerpts from the original Lewis Carroll book:

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

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"

"I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then"

"In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?"

"You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness."

"Do you think I've gone round the bend?"

"I'm afraid so. You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."

Don't forget your raincoat xx
