The Phantom Tollbooth

“It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time.”

“There are no wrong roads to anywhere.”

“Well, since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking.”

“Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.”

“Why not? That's a good reason for almost anything - a bit used perhaps, but still quite serviceable.”

“The way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from.”

“There is much worth noticing that often escapes the eye.”

“If you want sense, you'll have to make it yourself.”

“Many of the things which can never be, often are.”

“You know that it's there, but you just don't know where - but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for.”

“Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else.”

“But it's not just learning that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn at all that matters.”

“What you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do.”

“So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.”

“You must never feel badly about making mistakes, as long as you learn from them.”
