Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
She can't do sums a bit! the Queens said together, with great emphasis. Can you do sums? Alice said, turning suddenly on the White Queen, for she didn't like being found fault with so much. The Queen gasped and shut her eyes. I can do Addition, if you give me time-but I can do Subtraction, under any circumstances!
Lewis Carroll
But, I nearly forgot, you must close your eyes otherwise you won't see anything.
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
Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.
Lewis Carroll
And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! He chortled in his joy.
Lewis Carroll
Take my friends and my home - as an outcast I'll roam: Take the money I have in the bank: It is just what I wish, but deprive me of fish, And my life would indeed be blank.
Lewis Carroll
Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.
Lewis Carroll
