Why, Sometimes I’Ve Believed As Many As Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast?

The Quotations of Charles Lutwidge Dodson What I have stated three times is accurate. Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision are the various branches of Arithmetic. “Can you perform addition?” asked the White Queen. “What is one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one?” Alice said, “I don’t know.” “I lost track.” Alice laughed and stated, “There’s no point in trying; one cannot believe the impossible.” The Queen stated, “I daresay you haven’t had much practice.” “When I was younger, I did it every day for thirty minutes.

I’ve occasionally believed as many as six impossibilities before breakfast.” “Then you should say what you mean,” continued the March Hare. Alice quickly responded, “Yes, or at least I mean what I say, which is the same thing, you know.” “Not even close!” exclaimed the Mad Hatter. “Why, you might as well say “I eat what I see!” is the same as “I see what I eat!”” The Queen remarked, “This jelly is delicious.” “At any rate, I do not want any today.” “Even if you wanted it, you couldn’t have it,” the Queen stated.

The rule is jam tomorrow and jam the day before, but never jam today. Alice objected, “Sometimes “jam today” must occur.” The Queen replied, “No, it cannot be.” “It’s jam every other day; however, today is not an ordinary day.” Alice said, “I do not comprehend you.” It is extremely confusing.

• Humpty Dumpty stated with disdain, “When I use a word, it means exactly what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.” “The question is whether you can give words so many different meanings,” Alice said.
• The only question,” said Humpty Dumpty, “is which is to be master.” Arthur began with admirable gravity, “For a complete logical argument, we need two prim Misses -” “Of course!” she exclaimed.

“I recall the word now. And they generate -” “A Delusion,” Arthur said. “Ye-es?” she questioned doubtfully. “I do not seem to recall that very well. But what is the name for the entire argument?” The author of “A Sillygism” is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. – Quotations

Why have I sometimes believed as many as six impossibilities before breakfast?

I will be joining the Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast club. Sandy initiated it with her excellent blog Another Lovely Day. Focus on things you have come to believe are impossible or unlikely, and begin to believe in them. The reference to six impossible things is from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

1. The Queen has just inquired about Alice’s age.
2. Alice responds, “I am exactly seven and a half.” “You don’t need to specify,'” the Queen remarked.
3. I can believe it without your clarification.
4. I will now give you a reason to believe.
5. I am only 101 years, 5 months, and 1 day old.” “I cannot believe it,” Alice exclaimed.

The Queen said in a pitying tone, “Can’t you?” “Attempt again; take a deep breath and close your eyes.” Alice smiled. “There is no point in trying,” Alice said. “One cannot believe in the impossible.” The Queen stated, “I dare say you haven’t had much practice.” “When I was your age, I did it daily for thirty minutes.

I’ve occasionally believed as many as six impossibilities before breakfast.” ‘ The first step is a declaration and writing down your list of seemingly impossible goals, followed by a daily review of the list and visualization of your success. I am game for it. I am a firm believer in setting ambitious goals, and I adore the concept of going one step further with “impossible” ones.

Therefore, here is my list: 1. Writing – Complete the book and have it published. Climb Kilimanjaro, complete Wainwright’s Coast-to-Coast walk, or walk the Two Moors Way in Devon and Cornwall, all of which require exceptional fitness.3. Music – at midnight, play the organ in Notre Dame, Paris, preferably by yourself.

“Litanies” by Jehan Alain would do well. (If you are curious as to why, watch this to the end with the volume turned all the way up.) 4. Visibility: Develop a viral training video.1 million hits minimum.5. Legacies – Raise more than $1 million for charity before I pass away. Purchase a grand piano (preferably a Bosendorfer), rebuild my piano technique from scratch, and accompany my grandson as he performs “Five Bagatelles” by Finzi for clarinet and piano.

It feels good to write these down! And naturally a little frightening. I will periodically report on progress, most likely on New Year’s Day. I’m curious about the efficacy of these lofty objectives because they differ from the goals I typically set for myself.

Then, what about yourself? How about joining forces and encouraging one another? What have you got to lose? Ultimately, we only have one chance in life. If you are a Blogger, please send me a link to the blog where you share them. If you are not a Blogger, please let me know how you choose to proceed.

Now, take a deep breath and close your eyes. (I took this photograph in beautiful Hampshire last year. It is the River Test, and one day I will catch a four-pound Rainbow Trout from its murky depths. That appears to be an impossible dream.

Who said that nothing is impossible if one applies themselves?

If you set your mind to something and maintain a positive attitude, virtually nothing is impossible in the world. – Lou Holtz | hungryfaces.

The themes and motifs of the “Alice” tales The theme of maturation is the most prominent in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll adored the innocent and unprejudiced way in which young children view the world. With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, he wanted to depict how a child views our adult world, including all of the (in the eyes of a child, absurd and arbitrary) rules and social etiquette we created for ourselves, as well as the egos and bad habits we’ve developed over the course of our lives.

• Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland represents the struggle of a child to survive in the adult world.
• To comprehend our adult world, Alice must overcome the childlike openness that is typical of her age group.
• Apparently, adults require a code of conduct.
• The majority of people, however, adhere to these rules without questioning ‘why’.

This contributes to Alice’s incomprehensible and sometimes arbitrary behavior in Wonderland. When Alice enters Wonderland, she encounters a very different way of life and way of thinking. A Duchess intent on finding a lesson in everything. Trials that appear to be extremely unfair.

1. But during her journey through Wonderland, Alice gains a greater understanding of the adult world.
2. In actuality, she is maturing.
3. This is also represented by her physical growth and shrinkage throughout the narrative.
4. She gains a deeper comprehension of the Wonderland inhabitants as time passes.
5. She learns from the Cheshire Cat that “everyone is insane here.” She adapts to the bizarre rules of Wonderland, and as the story progresses, she becomes more adept at handling the situation.

She informs the Queen of Hearts that her directive is “nonsense” and prevents her own execution. In the end, Alice has adapted and lost the majority of her vivid childhood imagination. She realizes that the Wonderland creatures are nothing more than a deck of cards.

What does the Mad Hatter finally say to Alice?

– He is visibly pleased to see her at the “Tea Party.” He claims that he would recognize her “anywhere.” He attempts to prevent the Knave of Hearts from locating her by diverting his attention. When Bayard brings the Knave of Hearts to them, he surrenders.

She is adamant about saving him from the Red Queen. When he is angry while making hats, she covers her face with her hands. She insists that she would not have left the Red Queen’s castle without him. When he escapes to the White Queen’s castle, she immediately goes outside to meet him. He expresses regret for not having the opportunity to see her again.

He is disappointed to learn that she does not believe he is real. He is the first to volunteer to slay the Jabberwocky when she declines to do so. He fails in his attempt to convince her to remain in Wonderland. The words “Fairfarren, Alice” are filled with emotion, and she gives him a surprised look.

1. In the original script, The Mad Hatter twice kissed Alice: At the conclusion of his speech, the Mad Hatter seizes Alice and passionately kisses her.
2. Before she leaves, he abruptly kisses her and murmurs, “Fairfarren, Alice.” At the conclusion of his speech, the Mad Hatter seizes Alice and passionately kisses her.

Before she leaves, he abruptly kisses her and murmurs, “Fairfarren, Alice.”
