Alice
- “My Wonderland is shattered. It’s dead to me.”
- “Another day, a different dream perhaps.”
- “Is it mad to pray for better hallucinations?”
- “I know what’s real!”
- “I know I’m guilty of something, but punishment hardly ever suits the victims of a crime.”
- “Who set that bloody train in motion? Where has it come from?”
- “You’ve used me and abused me, but you will not destroy me!”
- “I want to forget! Who would choose to be alone, imprisoned by their broken memories?”
- “It’s not a dream. It’s a…memory. And it makes me sick!”
- “Wonderland has become quite strange. How is one to find her way?”
- “This is good for me. I’m not insane! I didn’t kill my family. I am fine. I’m not mad. I am innocent, I mean, not guilty!”
- “I’ve not come back here looking for a fight.”
- “Save myself? From death? is that it? Is that why I’ve come here? I’m not afraid to die. Times I’ve welcomed death!”
Cheshire Cat
- “Puuurrfect. When you’re not on edge, you’re taking up too much space.”
- “Threats, promises and good intentions don’t amount to action.”
- “Every picture tells a story. Sometimes we don’t like the ending. Sometimes we don’t understand it.”
- “Ah, Alice. We can’t go home again. No surprise really. Only a very few find the way, and most of them don’t recognize it when they do. Delusions, too, die hard with memory. Only the savage regard the endurance of pain as the measure of worth. Forgetting pain is convenient, remembering it: agonizing. But recovering the truth is worth the suffering and our Wonderland, though damaged, is safe in memory… for now.”
- “Abandon that hope! A new law reigns in this wonderland Alice, it’s very rough justice all around. We’re at risk here. You, be on your guard.”
- “A secret is only a secret when it is unspoken to another.”
- “Different denotes neither bad nor good, but it certainly means not the same.”
- “How fine you look when dressed in rage. Your enemies are fortunate your condition is not permanent. You’re lucky, too. Red eyes suit so few.”
- “Here’s a riddle: When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I’ll tell you: Whenever you want it to be!”
- “Is our situation not dismal? Wonderland is so discombobulated that lady bugs have turned belligerent and enlisted in the queen’s army! PUNISH THEIR CONVERSION!”
- “Only the insane equate pain with success.”
- “Every adventure requires a first step. Trite, but true, even here.”
- “The uninformed must improve their deficit, or die.”
- “Those who say there’s nothing like a nice cup of tea for calming the nerves never had *real* tea. It’s like a syringe of adrenaline straight to the heart!”
- “Only a few find the way, some don’t recognize it when they do – some… don’t ever want to.”
- “Haste makes waste, so I rarely hurry. But if a ferret were about to dart up my dress, I’d run.”
Mad Hatter
- “The world is upside-down, Alice. Inmates run the asylum – no offence – and worst of all… I’m left tea-less!”
- “The insolence, the arrogance the execrable table manners! They are destroyers of Wonderland! Defilers! Denuders! Derangers! Delightful…”
- “The law is just. Just a whisper away. Who knows how to measure rules? With a ruler! Cruel rules.”
- “Everything’s a nail, is it, Miss Hammerhead? First it was your search, freighted with fear and fragmented memories. Now it’s the train! Never time for tea. While your brain’s on holiday, we’re ruined! Now we’re all mad here and that’s a good excuse for going to hell in a teapot, but not for forgetting what your senses saw.”
- “Forgetting’s just forgetting, except when it’s not. Then they call it something else. I’d like to forget what you did. I’ve tried, but I can’t.”
The Red Queen of Hearts
- “A good guest does not overstay, a perfect guest stays home!”
- “The train is trying to destroy all evidence of your past and especially the fire. Now, who would want that? Who benefits from your madness?”
- “There is no method in this madness!”
- “Authority must be obeyed, or it must be overthrown!”
- “What you claim not to know is merely what you’ve denied. You’ve recaptured your vagrant memories. What are you doing with them?”
- “You shouldn’t ask questions you know the answer to, it’s not polite.”
- “Make your survival mean something, or we are all doomed!”
- “I may survive here,but you are all finished!”
Dr. Angus Bumby / The Dollmaker
- “Memory is more often a curse than a blessing.”
- “The past must be paid for.”
- “A flower’s purpose is simple and immutable. Human purpose is fickle because it is a slave to memory. Memories must be strictly managed, Alice. Unproductive ones must be eliminated.”
- “Am I not to be as much honoured and obeyed as the Queen? Is that asking too much? I want what she wanted. Give yourself over to that: trade the tentacles for the train. It’s altogether a better ride. It’s that or back to Rutledge!”
- “The train is coming with its shiny cars. With comfy seats and wheels of stars. So hush my little ones have no fear. The man in the moon is the engineer.”
