"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where --" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't much matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--- so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if only you walk long enough."
- Lewis Caroll in Alice in Wonderland
Children's books are just so profound, aren't they? When you read them as a child they're just entertaining. But reading it again as an adult makes you see the bigger picture, the subplots, and the deeper meaning in those seemingly simplistic lines.
Its humbling, really.
