From ‘Alice in Wonderland’: They had not gone far before they saw the Mock Turtle in the distance, sitting sad and lonely on a little ledge of rock, and, as they came nearer, Alice could hear him sighing as if his heart would break. She pitied him deeply.
“What is his sorrow?” she asked the Gryphon, and the Gryphon answered, very nearly in the same words as before,
“It’s all his fancy, that: he hasn’t got no sorrow, you know. Come on!”
From Paradise Lost: “The mind is its own world, and, in itself, can make a hell out of heaven and a heaven out of hell.
