"'It _is_ the same thing with you,' said the Hatter; and here the conversation dropped,..." I. UTILITY OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. _A. A. W._, p. 92: "'I quite agree with you,' said the Duchess, 'and the moral of that is--"Be what you would seem to be"--or if you'd like it put 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."' "'I think I should understand that better,' Alice said very politely, 'if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.' "'That's nothing to what I could say if I chose,' the Duchess replied, in a pleased tone." J. MISTAKE AS TO THE NATURE OF CRITICISM. _T. L. G._, p. 105: "'She's in that state of mind,' said the White Queen, 'that she wants to deny _something_--only she doesn't know what to deny.'

UNIVERSAL AND PARTICULAR PROPOSITIONS. _T. L. G._, p. 40: The Gnat had told Alice that the Bread-and-butterfly lives on weak tea with cream in it; so: "'Supposing it couldn't find any?' she suggested. "'Then it would die, of course.' "'But that must happen very often,' Alice remarked thoughtfully. "'It always happens,' said the Gnat." M. DENOTING. _T. L. G._, p. 43: Tweedledum and Tweedledee were, in many respects, indistinguishable, and Alice, walking along the road, noticed that "whenever the road divided there were sure to be two finger-posts pointing the same way, one marked 'TO TWEEDLEDUM'S HOUSE' and the other 'TO THE HOUSE OF TWEEDLEDEE.' "'I do believe,' said Alice at last, 'that they live in the same house!...'" N. NON-ENTITY. _T. L. G._, p. 87: "'I always thought they [human children] were fabulous monsters!' said the Unicorn.... "'Do you know [said Alice], I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!'
