We’re not in Wonderland anymore Alice.
Meaning of the quote
"We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice." This quote means that the world is not a magical, imaginative place like the one in the story "Alice in Wonderland." Instead, it's a harsh, cruel world where bad things can happen. The person saying this is trying to make Alice (the person they're talking to) understand that they are no longer in a fantasy world, but in a real world with real dangers.
