Alice in Wonderland has been a timeless classic for many years now. Alice and her friends have captured the hearts of many readers, viewers, and audiences. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most timeless quotes from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that, even years later, drive us crazy and mad.

Yesterday

It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

Alice

Carroll’s characters are wonderful at loading simple statements with deeper philosophical meanings, and he has a good point. We, as humans, are constantly evolving, and it’s a beautiful sentiment to think that we’re a different person than we were yesterday.

Madness

We’re all mad here.

Cheshire Cat

We all know and love this quote. It’s so true and realistic. We’re all pretty mad and crazy. That’s what being human is, isn’t it?

People

You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

Alice to the Mad Hatter

Again, it’s just being realistic. The best people are usually the crazy ones. They make for good memories and good laughter, and being happy is what life is all about.

Heads

Off with their heads!

Queen of Hearts

This is a timeless one. Everyone, even those who haven’t read/seen the books or movies, has heard this quote. It’s the Queen’s famous line, so obviously, we had to put it in here.

Advice

She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it).

Carroll about Alice

This one is just relatable. We are our own worst enemies. We may be great at giving advice but awful at listening to it.
