The childhood of each of us was absolutely “spoiled” by fairy tales. We heard all sorts of stories. And how often we imagined that we would find ourselves in this very story. But did we imagine that we could move into all fairy tales at once? And that not all of their heroes and plots will be good? We've grown up and it's time to find out the truth. Quotes from Alice in Wonderland will help with this. Their magic has not faded over the years. On the contrary, it has gained strength and experience and now easily and shamelessly charms us.
What made Alice’s journey so exciting, and for us useful and interesting: the most unexpected acquaintances; the world of fairy tales surprised the girl; the rules that Alice came up with for herself; the wisdom of the Cat who knows how to smile.
And, despite the fact that Lewis Carroll presented his “non-fictional” story as a dream of his tiny niece, I really want to believe in it. And it seems that this fairy tale is more intended for older people. There are so many secrets in it that you can solve them endlessly. Many phrases have become catchphrases and accompany us throughout our lives. All Alice in Wonderland quotes are familiar and common. But their magic is still obvious, because at different ages they are perceived in a new way.

Quotes and the most unexpected acquaintances
A little girl finds herself in a strange land inhabited by Confusion? Like this? Yes, it’s very simple, everyone whom Alice met in Through the Looking Glass has extraordinary talents to destroy the illusions of magic, creating a new charm of miracle around them.
We expect from them the minimum that is found in all children's fairy tales: little animals can talk, plants can sing songs. But here everything is different! Everything is presented with an incredible play of imagination. And that is why each character is colorful, and his words and actions amaze with accuracy and wisdom, which is why they turn into aphorisms and quotes.
If everything in the world is meaningless,
- said Alice, - what prevents you from inventing some meaning?
Change is neither “good” nor “bad.”
It simply means "something different."
Few find a way out
some don't see it even if they find it, and many don't even look for it.
— Where can I find someone normal?
“Nowhere,” answered the Cat, “there are no normal people.” After all, everyone is so different and dissimilar. And this, in my opinion, is normal.
Snow probably loves trees and fields very much,
since he kisses them so tenderly.
Threats, promises and good intentions
- none of this is action.
Only fools think that tea calms the nerves
, they just weren’t at a real tea party... a mug of tea is like an injection of adrenaline into the heart.
Rabbit
. It’s as if he “invites” the girl into an incredibly fabulous world of absurdity with his watch. Indeed, what is unusual about it for children who are accustomed from fairy tales to constantly hear rabbits talking. But his gloves, watch and concern that he will be late somewhere immediately arouses interest: where is he running like that?
Caterpillar
. Winged sayings have been supplemented with amazing advice from the wise Caterpillar-philosopher.
Hatter
. This hero, in both words and deeds, is one of the picturesque characters of the fairy tale. Quotes from the Hatter, his conclusions and riddles about time are a valuable pearl of our collection. At the same time, funny and educational.
Humpty Dumpty.
It’s interesting, but it was this philosopher of the Looking Glass country who gave birth to the day of the unborn!) His statements did not lead to the fact that this holiday became official, although, probably, all the inhabitants of the Earth would not refuse to receive gifts and congratulations not 1 day a year, but 364! It is no coincidence that such a bright idea has become so popular that the authors of the film project of the same name use it. Many who watched this film remember these vivid quotes from the film Alice in Wonderland.
Cat.
Everyone knows about the smile of the Cheshire Cat. Probably, each of us, ever since we heard or read about it, has been trying to find it on our familiar pets... what if one of them turns out to be magical!
How did the world of fairy tales surprise the girl? Alice was not just caught up in a story about good and evil. Where she found herself, everything came to life and took on forms, giving a different, unusual for us, idea of itself. Animals, plants, houses, games, sayings and even traditions appeared before the girl in an unusual way. And at the same time, quotes from Alice Through the Looking Glass were born, which became popular and beloved.

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 11:00 + to quote book What did I think when I read this fairy tale as a child? How to get to wonderland... How to get behind the mirror? And many, many images... I reread it and understand how deep it is in my memory... Everything, from the green meadow to the midges that eat cats to the mad tea party: “I have what I love” and “I love what I have” are one and the same same or different things. . . Hm. . . Who hasn't had such a bright day, such a magical world? Such a wonderful fairy tale? Mad tea drinking? Who among us has not fallen headfirst, caring only about not losing heart? Who hasn’t written letters, sometimes meaningless ones, and put them in a box with a lid that closes very well, but no bottom? And a lot more... a lot of things... One summer day. One chess game. And one wonderful fairy tale, ahead of its time... “So she sat, closing her eyes, imagining that she, too, had found herself in Wonderland, although she knew that as soon as she opened them, everything around her would become familiar and ordinary again.”
“Where to begin, Your Majesty?
Start at the beginning, and continue until you reach the end. When you get there, stop!” “They play chess here! This whole world is chess (unless, of course, it can be called peace)! This is one big, big chess game. - Oh, how interesting! And how I would like to be accepted into this game! I even agree to be a Pawn, if only they would take me... Although, of course, most of all I would like to be the Queen!” “Are you hot, darling? “Well, I’m unusually reserved,” answered the Queen and threw the inkwell at Little Bill. “Do you ever cut from the shoulder, darling?” “N I K O G D A,” said the Queen. And turning away, she screamed, pointing her finger at poor Bill: “Cut off his head!” Head off the shoulders! “Ah, I understand, you cut from our shoulders
,
not from the shoulder...
” “But the Queen did not let her finish.
— DESPERATE? Do you drink tea and not milk? I don’t know how you can drink tea! And even in the morning! Alice didn't want to start dating. She smiled and said: “If Your Majesty tells me when to drink tea, I will try to always follow your advice.” “Children don’t need to drink tea at all!” - said the Queen, - Let them drink milk! Another thing is adults... Now, for example, I was in despair for two hours... with jam and sweet buns.” “This won't help!
- she said. - You cannot believe in the impossible! “You just don’t have enough experience,” the Queen remarked. “When I was your age, I devoted half an hour to this every day!” On some days, I managed to believe in a dozen impossibilities before breakfast! Ah, again my shawl is flying somewhere.” The Queen turns into a goat and a sheep: “No, it doesn’t hurt,” answered the Queen.
“Thank you... b-e-e.. b-e-e... b-e-e!” “You can’t think of a better way! Better
, not nicer!”
“She’s long,” answered the Knight, “but very, very beautiful!” When I sing it, everyone cries... or...... doesn’t cry.” “You only have a little bit to go,” he said.
- You go down the hill, cross the stream - and you are the Queen! But will you wait and wave after me? - he added, seeing that Alice was impatient to jump over the last stream separating her from her cherished goal. “I won’t keep you long.” When you see that I have reached the turn, wave your handkerchief at me. Otherwise I’m afraid to completely lose heart. “With pleasure,” said Alice. - Thank you for seeing me off... And for the song... I really liked it. “I hope,” the Knight said uncertainly. “Only for some reason you didn’t cry...” They shook hands, and the Knight slowly drove backwards along the forest road. - I'm afraid that he will lose heart ...
That’s what he said, I think,” thought Alice, looking after him. - Well, of course! He fell again... But not in spirit, but in his head!
..."
“At first, as expected, we sneezed and squeaked,” answered Pod-Kitty. “And then we set about the four operations of arithmetic: sliding, lamenting, tenderness and exhaustion.” “He doesn’t know subtraction,” said the White Queen. - What about division? Divide the loaf with a knife - what do you get? - In my opinion... - Sandwiches, of course! “Vinegar makes them sulky,” she continued thoughtfully, “mustard makes them sad, onions make them cunning, wine makes them guilty, and baked goods make them kinder.” What a pity that no one knows about this... Everything would be so simple! If only the baking would make you feel good!” “I completely agree with you,” said the Duchess. “And the moral from here is: “Love, love, you rule the world” ... “And it seemed to me that someone said that the most important thing is not to meddle in other people’s affairs,” Alice whispered. “So it’s the same thing,” said the Duchess, digging her chin into Alice’s shoulder. “And the moral from here is this: think about the meaning, and the words will come by themselves!” “And all the guests drank immediately, although somewhat strangely. Who pulled glasses over their heads like caps and licked up everything that ran down their cheeks. Who knocked over the decanters of wine and, leaning to the edge of the table, drank everything that poured out. And three creatures that looked like kangaroos climbed into a dish with fried meat and lapped up the sauce.” “...You go to her for a minute, and as soon as she starts yelling, you can run away. And I made such friends for myself. One old man, Sudachok, comes to see her. Suckers from morning to night! And the pike runs in - so she pikes everyone. Sometimes Som also doubts everything...
And when they all get together, they make such a noise that your head is spinning... Do you know Beluga? Alice nodded. - So they brought her to it. No way, poor thing, she can’t come to her senses. Everything roars and roars..."
