Lewis Carroll
If only I could manage, without annoyance to my family, to get imprisoned for 10 years, without hard labour, and with the use of books and writing materials, it would be simply delightful!
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
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
Lewis Carroll
Who ARE You? This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.
Lewis Carroll
In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail--not the tail that wags the dog.
Lewis Carroll
Be who you are, said the Duchess to Alice, or, if you would like it put more simply, never try to be what you might have been or could have been other than what you should have been.
Lewis Carroll
You have to run as fast as you can just to stay where you are. If you want to get anywhere, you'll have to run much faster.
Lewis Carroll
