‘Exactly so,’ said Alice. 🔊

‘Then you should say what you mean,’ the March Hare went on. 🔊

‘I do,’ Alice hastily replied; ‘at least--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

that “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see”!’ 🔊

‘You might just as well say,’ added the March Hare, ‘that “I like what I

get” is the same thing as “I get what I like”!’ 🔊

‘You might just as well say,’ added the Dormouse, who seemed to be

talking in his sleep, ‘that “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, and here the

conversation dropped, 🔊 and the party sat silent for a minute, while Alice

thought over all she could remember about ravens and writing-desks,

which wasn’t much. 🔊
