““There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.””

“What is originality? To see something that is as yet without a name, that is as yet impossible to designate, even though it stares us in the face. The way it usually is with people, it is a thing’s name that makes it perceptible to them in the first place.—For the most part, the original ones have also been the name-givers.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“... it would be impossible for women to stand in higher estimation than they do here. The deference that is paid to them at all times and in all places has often occasioned me as much surprise as pleasure.”
