DESTINATION
Former Senator Dwight W. Morrow searched in vain to find his railroad ticket as he was
on a train leaving New York City. "I must find that ticket," he muttered. The
conductor, who stood waiting beside him, said, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Morrow. We
know you had a ticket. Just mail it to the railroad when you find it." "That's
not what's troubling me," replied Morrow, "I need to find it to know where I'm
going."

In Alice in Wonderland, when Alice comes to a junction in the road that leads in
different directions, she asks the Cheshire Cat, "Cheshire-Puss...would you tell me
please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where
you want to go to," said the Cat. "I don't much care where," replied Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go."
