Quote by Lewis Carroll

There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe imposs

Summary

This quote represents a playful interaction between Alice and the Queen. Alice believes that it is pointless to try and believe in impossible things, but the Queen challenges her perspective. The Queen describes how she used to believe in impossible things for a set amount of time daily and even lists the number of impossible things she would believe before breakfast. The quote serves to highlight the importance of having an open and imaginative mind, suggesting that embracing the possibility of the seemingly impossible can lead to greater experiences and understanding.

In my early life, and probably even today, it is not sufficiently understood that a child's education should include at least a rudimentary grasp of religion, sex, and money. Without a basic knowledge of these three primary facts in a normal human being's life --subjects which stir the emotions, create events and opportunities, and if they do not wholly decide must greatly influence an individual's personality --no human being's education can have a safe foundation.
