Alice laughed. "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 half an hour a... day. Why, sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."--Lewis Carroll
