Famous quotes containing the word march:
““Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
