About This Quote
Alice in Wonderland is a book about the folly of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen. The fantasy has Alice falling into Wonderland after she falls down the rabbit hole. However, it is the way that she comes out of Wonderland that makes this story truly amazing. She returns with a new outlook on life and a real understanding of what makes everything work.
