Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
One of the deepest motives (as you are aware) in the human beast (so deep that many have failed to detect it) is Alliteration.
Lewis Carroll
The horror of that moment, the King went on, I shall never, never forget! You will, though, the Queen said, if you don't make a memorandum of it.
Lewis Carroll
There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.
Lewis Carroll
In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do.
Lewis Carroll
First, I hate all theological controversy: it is wearing to the temper, and is I believe (at all events when viva voce) worse than useless.
Lewis Carroll
So young a child ought to know which way she's going, even if she doesn't know her own name!
Lewis Carroll
I am fond of children - except boys.
Lewis Carroll
