    Lewis Carroll
    “Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.

    “The Girl With Many Eyes
    One day in the park
    I had quite a surprise.
    I met a girl
    who had many eyes.

    She was really quite pretty
    (and also quite shocking!)
    and I noticed she had a mouth,
    so we ended up talking.

    We talked about flowers,
    and her poetry classes,
    and the problems she'd have
    if she ever wore glasses.

    It's great to know a girl
    who has so many eyes,
    but you really get wet
    when she breaks down and cries.”
    ― Tim Burton

    Ernest Hemingway
    “All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
