Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.

Lewis Carroll

I know this quote probally makes sense, but I'm way to blonde to figure it out!!! LOL

Date: 7/31/2003 8:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 36994    lol, let's see, dont imagine yourself to be something that others dont see you as? It is a little confusing, but strangely enough I capture the meaning, just explaining it, hehe, great quote, and thanks for sharing

Date: 7/31/2003 9:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 55967    I think the real meaning is the exact opposite of what it seems to be on the surface. The key is the double negative. I knocked out the "never" and "not" to make a positive statement, substituted "otherwise" with "different" (sounds logical), and broke it up into sentences. This is what I found: "Be what you would seem to be." Or, "Be what YOU think you are to be, regardless of other people." The rest, I think, can read like this: "Imagine yourself differently than what it might appear to others. What you were, or even might have been, was the same [not 'different'] as what you had been, even if you had appeared to them to be different." Sound logical? I'd like to read the real meaning of this sometime.
