Outside my window - couldn't get a closer shot, but it feels good to see signs of life in this dark, gloomy and cold place. ¶ 9:53 AM 0 Comments
1.)Be what you would seem to be
or
to put it more simply - "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."
~Alice in Wonderland, L. Carroll
Whoa!! What did it all mean? Someone please explain!
2.) Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.
~Through the Looking Glass, L. Carroll
Cute, right? Well, well - I wish some impossible things I used to think of, could come true just by believing them.

This is the first written post on my blog - I have always been shy to write stuff and I had resorted to letting pictures speak out for me. But I had just come across a site with some philosophical quotes and that got me thinking. I cannot help but share it with my viewers.
Consider the following quotes.
1.)
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know,"
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
This looks so trivial on the surface, but give it a thought - it just seems so profound. I haven't read
2.) Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop. ~Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland
I am still trying to figure out what this means. I mean, is there something called "the end" ? And is it really possible to stop when you reach it? I don't know.
A few more quotes :
3.) If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky? ~Stanislaw J. Lec
4.) Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. ~Zen Buddhist Proverb
5.) Don't miss the donut by looking through the hole. ~Author Unknown
6.) You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. ~Navajo Proverb
7.) To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday. ~John Burroughs
8.) Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. ~Roger Miller
9.) It takes all the running you can do just to keep in the same place. ~Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass, 1872
10.) No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. ~Zen
