" There's no use trying, " said Alice. "One can't believe in impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice." said the Queen. "When I was your age I used to practice for half an hour a day. Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
- Lewis Carroll, from 'Alice in Wonderland'
