Unicorn Quote by Lewis Carroll
““The Unicorn's eye happened to fall upon Alice: he turned round rather instantly, and stood for some time looking at her with an air of the deepest surprise. 'What -- is -- this?' he said at last. 'This is a child!' Haigha replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her. 'We only found it today. It's as large as life, and twice as natural!' 'I always thought they were fabulous monsters!' said the Unicorn. 'Is it alive?' 'It can talk,' said Haigha, solemnly. The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said 'Talk, child.' Alice could not help her lips curing up into a smile as she began: 'Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!' 'Well, now that we have seen each other,' said the Unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?””

![“[The unicorn] sighed and plodded on, both amused and disappointed. It serves you right, she told herself. You know better than to expect a butterfly to know your name. All they know are songs and poetry, and anything else they hear. They mean well, but they can’t keep things straight. And why…” quote by Peter S.
