English Version | “I’m not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours”

If you’ve heard this quote, you’re probably thinking of Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland and of Lewis Carroll, its author, but ciberspace, a great fan of the work and the man, denies this reference, attributing the sentence to an unknown source.

Which doesn’t take away any similarities to the peculiar cat nor does it invalidate the inspiration to the following pages: because these words may not be Alice’s, but the images are a tribute to Carroll’s universe and imagination, with his genius and craziness. On a search mission to find our own truth and to see the world in a different perspective, leading an unconventional life, this is the entryway to a surreal reality which captures the essence of the writer and his very particular point of view.”We are all mad here. I am mad. You are mad”. And that is indeed a quote by the feline from the book.
