What are some Trippy Quotes from Alice in Wonderland?
The word "trippy" is officially defined as "of, relating to, or suggestive of a trip induced by a psychedelic drug" but it has also come to mean more. As the Urban Dictionary puts it, it is "an adjective meaning cool, freaky, groovy, amazing, or all of the above, depending on the context in which it's used."
Many people who have either seen one of the movie adaptations or read a version of Alice may find many of the strange, silly, and just plain bizarre quotes more than a little, well, trippy. Here are a few examples:
- “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -Alice, 1951 movie version
- “Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.” -Doorknob, 1951 movie version
- Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea? Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more. March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less. Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing. -1951 movie version
- “'I quite agree with you,' said the Duchess; `and the moral of that is--Be what you would seem to be--or if you'd like it put more simply--Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.'” -Original novel
- “Twas brillig/and the slithy toves/did gyre and gimbel in the wabe/all mimsy were the borogoves/and the mome raths outgrabe.” -The Mad Hatter, 2010 movie version
