I can guess why a raven is like a writing-desk, Alice said. "Do you mean you think you can find out the answer?" said the March Hare. "Exactly so," said Alice. "Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on. "I do," Alice replied. "At least I mean what I say. That's the same thing, you know."
"Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter. "You might just as well say, 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!" "You might just as well say," added the Dormouse, 'I breathe when I sleep' is the same thing as 'I sleep when I breathe'!" "It IS the same thing with you," said the Hatter.
