10 of the Most Bizarre Lines from Dr. Seuss Books
Because Dr. Seuss had a talent for writing lines that made you pause, laugh, and wonder if you were still reading a kid’s book. Here are some of the most bizarre gems:
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." — Okay, but where else would you keep your brains?
"I’m sorry to say so but, sadly it’s true, that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you." — Thanks for the existential crisis, Dr. Seuss.
"I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox." — Honestly, we have questions about the box and the fox.
"Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!" — Like… why does a Sneetch need a star on its belly?
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you." — Deep, but also sounds like a motivational poster from 2003.
"Don’t give up. I believe in you all. A person’s a person, no matter how small." — Beautiful and also a low-key dig at tall people?
"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere." — The perfect summary of this entire list.
"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not." — Preach, Lorax. Still relevant, still iconic.
"My hat is old. My teeth are gold. I have a bird I like to hold." — Sir, are you okay?
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind." — The OG version of “haters gonna hate.”
