'Two pence a week, and a jam every other day', the Queen said
Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, 'I don't want you to hire me - and I don't care for jam.'
'It's a very good jam, said the Queen.
'Well, I don't want any TO-DAY jam, at any rate'
"You couldn't have if you even did want it', the Queen said. 'The rule is, the jam tomorrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day'
'It must come sometimes to "jam to-day", Alice objected.
'No it can't', said the Queen.'It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day'.

'I beg your pardon'? Alice said with a puzzled air.
'I'm not offended', said Humpty Dumpty

'I meant by "impenetrability" that we've had enough of this subject, and it would be just as well as if you'd mention what you mean to do next, as I suppose you don't mean to stop here all the rest of your life.'
'That's a great deal to make one word mean', Alicw said in a thoughtful tone.
'When I make a word do a lot of work like that', said Humpty Dumpty, 'I always pay it extra'.
'Oh! said Alice. She was too much to make any other remark.
'Ah, you should see 'em come round me of a Saturday night,' Humpty Dumpty went on, wagging his head gravely from side to side: 'for to get their wages, you know.'

'I only wish I had such eyes', the King remarked in a fretful tone. 'To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance, too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!'

Unicorn 's eye happened to fall upon Alice: he turned round rather instantly, and stood for some time looking at her with an air of the deepest disgust.
'What - is -this?' he said at last
'This is a child!"Haigha replied eagerly
'I always thought they were fabulous monsters!' said the Unicorn. 'Is at alive?'
'It can talk', said Haigha
The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said 'Talk, child.'
Alice could not help her lips curing up into a smile as she began:'Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!'
'Well, now that we HAVE seen each other,' said the Unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?'

Through the looking-glass and
what Alice found there

People were strange like that. Steal five dollars and you were a petty thief. Steal thousands of dollars and you were either a government or a hero.
Terry Pratchett "Going postal"

И не пытайся взвалить что-то на Ансельмо. Он настоящий христианин. Редкое явление для католической страны.

С каких это пор у тебя завелись такие концепции, спросил он сам себя. Нет их у тебя. И быть не может. Ты не настоящий марксист, и ты это знаешь. Ты просто веришь в Свободу, Равенство и Братство, Ты веришь в Жизнь, Свободу и Право на Счастье. И не вдавайся в диалектику. Это для кого-нибудь, но не для тебя.

За сегодняшний день мы задержались один раз из-за невежества анархистов. Потом из-за нерадивости бюрократа, фашиста. А теперь нас задерживает излишняя подозрительность коммуниста.
Эрнест Хемингуэй "По ком звонит колокол"

«Нет человека, который был бы как Остров, сам по себе, каждый человек есть часть Материка, часть Суши; и если волной снесёт в море береговой Утёс, меньше станет Европа, и так же, если смоет край мыса
