The cat only grinned when it saw Alice...
"Chesire-Puss," she began...

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

"That depends a good deal on where
you want to get to," said the Cat."

I don't much care where___" said Alice.

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

"___so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.

"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you
only walk long enough."

From Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 1865.
