The English mathematician and author Lewis Carroll is most recognized for his contributions to children's books. He chose to write under a pen name that combined "Charles" with the last name of another well-known author, even though his real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

His most well-known piece is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," which is frequently abbreviated as "Alice in Wonderland." Through the adventures of a young girl named Alice who falls into an underground world full of strange creatures and experiences, Carroll examines themes of identity and self-discovery in this story. One of the book's main themes—questioning one's own existence—is reflected in the quote you cited.

Think of life as a huge garden with a variety of paths and flowers. There are moments when we feel as though we are lost in this garden, unsure of which path will lead us to our true selves. At some point, everyone may ask themselves what makes them unique and where they fit in the world, just as Alice does in the story. Many people travel this path throughout their lives, so it's more than just a simple curiosity.

Carroll's books are thought-provoking as well as entertaining because they frequently deal with the idea of doubting identity and reality. Like Alice attempting to find her place in a magical world, his stories inspire readers to reflect deeply on their identity and values.

Carroll challenges each of us to consider who we are and look for solutions that will improve our understanding of who we are. It serves as a reminder that, like exploring the endless garden of life, each person's path to self-discovery is distinct and continuous.
