Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don’t much care where…
Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.
Alice:…So long as I get somewhere.
Cheshire Cat: Oh, you’re sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.”

‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cheshire Cat, ‘We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.’
‘How do you know I’m mad?’ asked Alice.
‘You must be,’ said the Cheshire Cat, ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.”
