For my third quote of Tuesday quotes, I’m going to share with you one of my all time favorite quotes, from the classic book Alice in Wonderland. Alice was also one of my daughter’s favorites (before she discovered The Hunger Games), and I think this quote is quirky and enchanting, just like the book itself. Many of the quotes from the book (and there are many) are inspirational, and totally resonate today.
‘It’s no good going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then’
– Alice in Wonderland (1865)

Here’s a little background info on the author himself :
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), was born in Cheshire, England. Did you know that –
- he was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
- his poem ‘Jabberwocky’ is considered one of the greatest ‘nonsense’ poems written in English
- he was mathematically gifted, writing numerous mathematical books under his real name
- he was reading such classics as ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’ at the tender age of 7
- he suffered from a stammer
- Alice in Wonderland was one of Queen Victoria’s favorite books
- he regarded Alice in Wonderland as ‘a fairy-tale’

Great quote, has the ring of truth like so much Alice says. Just posted about Lewis Carroll, the coincidence prompting me to make a cheeky plug for my LC-related shared poem request … hope you don’t mind, Suzanne!
