From Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll, 1832-1898), British author, mathematician, Anglican clergyman, logician, and amateur photographer, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871):
Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
SLL hereby nominates the speaker of this line, the White Queen, for the next open seat on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The only grounds for disqualifying her would be that she only believes six impossible things before breakfast. A governor must be able to believe many more than that, and well before breakfast.
