I just bought Alice in Wonderland and am going to re-read it

I like this movie, not because of the cute and dreamy shots.
Children with mental illness remind us of ourselves. I think of my own loss of wanting something too much but not getting it, and the irresistible rebellion caused by it. Think of the blame you give yourself when you see others unhappy. Reminds me of childhood full of fantasy and belief. Think of yourself still suffering from these pains.
It's good to be a kid. It is good to have faith.

Of course, I also liked this movie because of the really cute and talented Elle Fanning in it. All her nice clothes. And those silver flats that permeate the entire movie.
I have a pair of these too, and I'll turn them out and wipe them clean for next spring, paired with a nice dress.

Just bought Alice in Wonderland and am going to start rereading it. Perhaps, after reading it, I can better understand the story in Phoebe's blue eyes.

Phoebe in Wonderland quotes

  • Peter Lichten: Why do we have to go to the principal's office?

    Phoebe: I spat at the other kids. I couldn't help it.

    Peter Lichten: Phoebe, what do you mean you couldn't help it?

    Hillary Lichten: She means she couldn't help it.

    Phoebe: Please tell Mr. Davis I couldn't help it.

  • Principal Davis: She spat, Mrs. Lichten, she spat.

    Phoebe: Spat, spat, water rat.

    Principal Davis: So I thought you could come in and we could chat about it.

    Phoebe: Tommy spat first!

    Principal Davis: Phoebe, perhaps you should let your mommy and daddy and I talk alone about it. Here, you can have a candy.

    Hillary Lichten: Phoebe is imaginative and sensitive and passionate and if she did get excited about the gerbil, I'm sure she was provoked. You heard her, that other terror spat first.
