| One of them, a conqueror but in the realm of mind, a Don Jaun but of knowledge, an actor but of the intelligence, knows this better than anyone: "You nowise deserve a privilege on earth and in heaven for having brought to perfection your dear little meek sheep; you nonetheless continue to be at best a ridiculous dear little sheep with horns and nothing more - even supposing that you do not burst with vanity and do not create a scandal by posing as a judge." |

| Quote of the moment |
| "... Let's consider your age to begin with---how old are you?" "I'm seven and a half, exactly." "You needn't say `exactually,'" the Queen remarked. "I can believe it without that. Now I'll give _you_ something to believe. I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day." "I can't believe _that_!" said Alice. "Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes." Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one _can't_ belive impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was you age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." |
