Penelope

“I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole—and yet—and yet—it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life!”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

“I wish I hadn't cried so much!" said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out. "I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears! That will be a queer thing, to be sure! However, everything is queer today.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

“The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead -
There were no birds to fly.”
― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There

“Alice thought to herself "I don't see how he can ever finish, if he doesn't begin.”
― Lewis Carrol, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
