Alice in Wonderland Quotes

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!


Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic -- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop

Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.

It would be so nice if something made sense for a change

Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction

I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see

Speak English! I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and I don't believe you do either!

Down The Rabbit hole

Peering down the rabbit hole,
something captures her eyes
Don't go into the rabbit hole, Alice
Don't dare it, don't even try!
Gazing into the wonderment
of the myteries that wait inside
I told you Alice, please don't go
If you go, you go alone!
I don't need anyone with me
I am strong and I am brave, says Alice
Don't say we didn't warn you
Go ahead on down and play
It is your own doing, Alice. We can't tell you what to do!
Soaring down the dark and earthy tunnel
every image passing by
Bewilderment and illusions
coloring her mind
I am not afraid, says Alice
She stands amazed
Well no, she flys amazed
tumbling on downward, in this neverending fleet
hitting a few interior bumps
she cries, howls, and pleads
We told you so Alice, we new this would happen
Alice do you hear me? Why did you go down the rabbit hole?
Alice are you there? Alice?
Oh shut up! I am fine, says Alice
Illustrations of a grandiose enlightment
That looks good, says Alice
Whirling on by in wonderment and awe
confused as to when this flight would come to an end
Ouch!
She hits the ground now
She bumps her head
Alice are you ok?
Rumbling, tumbling and rolling on that hard earthy floor
trying to get herself back up on some solid ground
It's dark in here, says Alice
Alice needs some light
On her hands and knees she's suddenly blinded by a flash
What was that Alice? What was that?
Finally she pulls herself up
grazing over the few bumps and bruises she acquired along the way
I am fine, I am ok, says Alice
She gazes before her to what appears to be her very own looking glass
Well that is something, says Alice
She begins to laugh
My hair's a mess!

"The mind, that ocean where each kind/Does straight its own resemblance find;/ Yet it creates, transcending these,/ Far other worlds, and other seas,/ Annihilating all that's made/ To a green thought in a green shade." Andrew Marvell





"Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism." Carl Gustav Jung

Transcending

My cousin texted me the other day this random, chain email thing – talking about the vote to legalize marijuana. Saying that if you called this phone # President Obama implied in some way that he would consider legalizing marijuana, if he received 1 million votes. And then the end of this text was that this shi** is real. Yeah ok! Imagine that! Legalizing something that would damage the pockets of so many individuals in this world – and I am not talking about drug dealers. It would be this other worldly sh**.So I would like to see that happen! But anyway, marijuana – what is so wrong with it? Why should it be illegal? What does it really do that is not any less damaging then everything else in this world? People drink, and that’s eventually no good for you either – it’s bad for the liver. Drinking is bad in many ways and we are all aware of this. But yet people still drink – and that’s legal. And let me say that people have done more stupid things in this world drunk as opposed to high. So what is the problem? I don’t know – it baffles me. Still I can’t see why some people do smoke – some people that shouldn’t but do so anyway – people who just should stay away from the drug or drugs entirely. But then reality wakes me right up and says who am I to judge? I know one of the arguments someone would raise would be to say that people get dumbed out on the drug and that’s why it’s bad – or they are killing their brain cells. But doesn’t alcohol do the same thing? On that show intervention they show people who are addicted to something and they have shown several severe alcoholics – and I mean these people are ADDICTED! They need it, they have to have it, they are sick (mentally, physically, emotionally) and some of them were even dying but yet they couldn't stop this crazy damaging addiction – so their families intervene and push them to get the help that they need. It’s a really good show – I find it fascinating. But anyways, alcohol was doing a severe and rapidly poisonous death on these people – so aren’t we contradicting ourselves by allowing one and banning another. It’s hard for me to determine on where I sway in these kind of arguments among sides stating one is more bad then the other – because it all depends. There is people who can socialize and also occasionally take part in some form of transcending from the realm of reality to another place of existence that is by far more enjoyable – or you can be one of the rarer folk who do not take part in this form of activity at all. But unless you fall into category B as the rarer of folks, you cannot be of fair judgment to decide the fate of one transcending preference over the other. That would make you a hypocrite. So, I stay impartial and remain mum.

Quote of the Week

"We must become the change we want to see"
Mahatma Gandhi

Truth Be Told

When do we make the necessary changes that need to be made to something in our lives that is not any good for us? When should we proceed in the “right” direction as opposed to continuing with the “wrong” direction? Who is to say what “Right” is and what is “Wrong?” Are these “rights” and “wrongs” based solely on the individual(s) and their opinion(s)? Should we even become upset when another person invades our world and tells us their own opinions about our personal situations? Many of the times ignoring the fact that we may not want to hear their opinions. There are always extenuating circumstances that people should get involved in another person’s life – if something is endangering them or those around them. But other than those extenuating circumstances – when do WE make those necessary changes for ourselves? When do we decide to do what is right in a situation that requires some type of action or reaction? When do we start putting the proper puzzle pieces together?

Should we really get upset when people don’t mind their businesses and involve themselves with our affairs? Should we appreciate their interference in our lives? Should we look at their interference as an opening to a door that we ourselves keep closed because we are not willing to open the door ourselves? Do we really need to hear what we all deep down already know?
Do we want to know?

But...We...do...know… We ALWAYS know! Most of the time there is nothing to ask anyone that we do not already know for ourselves. (Well at least for the most part.) We don’t need advice we just want to hear something different from someone else on what we should or shouldn’t do. When you have to think about something that’s going on in your life (whatever aspect it could be) (and in the pit of your stomach and deep in your heart you know it’s wrong or somewhere inside your head that little voice is screaming or talking nonstop advising you to turn the other way, to do something different, to end something, to tell the truth, to stop doing something, to speak up about something, to be honest with yourself about something etc) What else could there possibly be to question? Sometimes we look for outside opinions about our situations or about our actions (and sometimes we tread lightly around even these truths that we are willing to expose ourselves to hear – and we mask our situations so that way we can justify to our selves what we are doing with what is really going on.)

When you want to hear it – you ask! When you don’t want to hear it – you mask! Isn’t it all so very simple?

But it’s never that simple – who are we hurting or affecting the most? If it would affect or hurt someone else and disrupt things dramatically – do we selfishly continue with our escapades or does a change need to be made somewhere? Are you selfish and self serving? Or are you ½ selfish and try to make up for it in other ways? Or do you deny being selfish at all? If it’s okay the things that are going on then what’s to think about? Why all the pondering? Why all the guilt? (there’s always guilt) Do you have any guilt or is that one more thing you want to add on to the list of topics to avoid? (Maybe there is no guilt and you just don’t care but then maybe you should be honest about that then – starting with being honest with yourself) Or maybe you are just too afraid to face up to the truth of the things that have been created in your world? What skeletons are in your closet? What demons do you have to face? What reality are you living in? What truth needs to be told? All situations that need to be addressed, need to be faced, and it starts at home first. Home is your own personal sanctuary of peace and solitude within yourself. With the removal of your mask a revelation of an unspoken truth is revealed, and with that alone you are set free!
