The Telos of Alice

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."


--Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

Though I found many versions of the above quote (and since I don't own the book), it may be best to summarize it. 'If you don't know where you are going, it doesn't matter which road you take. Any road will take you there.'
