More quotes by Lewis Carroll
It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that, whatever you say to them, they always purr: If they would only purr for 'yes,' and mew for 'no, or any rule of that sort, she had said, so that one could keep up a conversation! But how can you talk with a person if they always say the same thing?
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
Alice had begun with 'Let's pretend we're kings and queens' and her sister, who liked being exact, had argued that they couldn't, because there were only two of them, and Alice hand been reduced at last to say, 'Well, you can be one of them then, and I'll be the rest.
Lewis Carroll
Why is a raven like a writing desk? - Mad Hatter I haven't the slightest idea. - Alice
Lewis Carroll
Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
Lewis Carroll
One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it-- it was the black kitten's fault entirely.
Lewis Carroll
There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. Which luckily I am.
Lewis Carroll
Which form of proverb do you prefer Better late than never, or Better never than late?
Lewis Carroll
Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be and if it were so, it would be but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.
Lewis Carroll
Still, as Christmas-tide comes round, They remember it again - Echo still the joyful sound Peace on earth, good-will to men!
Lewis Carroll
In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do.
Lewis Carroll
When the sands are all dry, he is gay as a lark, And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark: But, when the tide rises and sharks are around, His voice has a timid and tremulous sound.
Lewis Carroll
Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Lewis Carroll
Abstract qualities begin With capitals alway: The True, the Good, the Beautiful- Those are the things that pay!
Lewis Carroll
Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.
