Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Whilst sitting idly by a river bank, a young girl called Alice spots a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat looking at a pocket watch.

Surpised by what she sees, she follows him down a rabbit hole and begins a bizzare adventure where she meets a host of strange and fantastical creatures.

Big ideas

Dream of impossible things. Don’t stop being curious and, from time to time, impulsive. Pursue subjects that peak your interest. Don’t let others define what you can and can’t do. Sometimes you have to fall down to figure out who or where you should be.

Let go of the burdens from your past. Don’t hold onto your identity too tightly. Who you were yesterday should never define who you are today.

Notes and highlights

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

“One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.”

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

“Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.”
