《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》的第七章是「瘋狂的茶會」，其中一段，是三月兔 (March Hare)、瘋帽先生 (Mad Hatter) 與愛麗絲 (Alice) 有關茶的對話，很有意思：
"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."
瘋帽先生說得對，「要求更多」很容易，當「甚麼都沒有」的時候，「要求更少」就難了。
