"If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't."
Tweedledee, Through the Looking-Glass
When Alice first meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee in Through the Looking Glass, she is reminded of a poem about them, which she can barely resist saying out loud. Tweedledum seems to read her mind:
`I know what you're thinking about,' said Tweedledum: `but it isn't so, nohow.'
`Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, `if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.'
`I was thinking,' Alice said very politely, `which is the best way out of this wood: it's getting so dark. Would you tell me, please?'
But the little men only looked at each other and grinned.
There is a passage in Down the Rabbit-Hole in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland when Alice sees the beautiful garden through the little door and wishes she could get to it:Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; `and even if my head would go through,' thought poor Alice, `it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin.' For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
