> One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. **“Which road do I take?”** she asked. **“Where do you want to go?”** was his response. **“I don’t know,”** Alice answered. **“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”** ([Location 1149](https://readwise.io/to%5Fkindle?action=open&asin=B00R6M8EEE&location=1149&ref=bramadams.dev))
