The wisdom of the Red Queen
from Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There (Lewis Carroll)
Alice looked round her in great surprise. "Why, I do believe we've been
under this tree the whole time! Everything's just as it was!"
"Of course it is," said the Queen. "What would you have it?"
"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally
get to somewhere else - if you ran very fast for a long time as we we've
been doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now here, you see, it takes all
the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere
else, you must run at least twice as fast as that."
