"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
" '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'."
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland , originally published in 1865 as " Alice's Adventures Under Ground ."
The story centers on the seven-year-old Alice, who falls asleep in a meadow, and dreams that she plunges down a rabbit hole. She finds herself first too large and then too small. She meets such strange characters as Cheshire Cat , the Mad Hatter , the March Hare , and the King and Queen of Hearts, and experiences wondrous, often bizarre adventures, trying to reason in numerous discussions that do not follow the daylight logic.
Finally she loses her temper, bringing down this dream world and wakes up.
" Curiouser and curiouser! " cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English ).

"When I used to read fairy tales , I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! "
- Chapter 4, The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill
" Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!"
- Chapter 6, Pig and Pepper
" Who are you? "said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, "I - I hardly know, Sir, just at present - at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."
"What do you mean by that?" said the Caterpillar, sternly. " Explain yourself! "
"I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir," said Alice, "because I am not myself, you see."
