“It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying "Come up again, dear!"
I shall only look up and say "Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then,
if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down here
till I'm somebody else"--but, oh dear!' cried Alice, with a sudden burst
of tears, 'I do wish they WOULD put their heads down! I am so VERY tired
of being all alone here!”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

“The rules of the universe that we think we know are buried deep in our processes of perception.”
― Gregory Bateson, Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity
