O Oysters,' said the Carpenter, You've had a pleasant run! Shall we be trotting home again?' But answer came there none - And this was scarcely odd, because They'd eaten every one.

She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
Lewis Carroll
Image
Death is always sad, I suppose, to us who look forward to it: I expect it will seem very different when we can look back upon it.
Lewis Carroll
Image
They've a temper, some of them - particularly verbs, they're the proudest - adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs.
Lewis Carroll
Image
Forbid the day when vivisection shall be practised in every college and school, and when the man of science, looking forth over a world which will then own no other sway than his, shall exult in the thought that he has made of this fair earth, if not a heaven, at least a hell for animals.
Lewis Carroll
Image
If doubtful whether to end with yours faithfully, or yours truly, or yours most truly, &c. (there are at least a dozen varieties, before you reach yours affectionately), refer to your correspondent's last letter, and make your winding-up at least as friendly as his: in fact, even if a shade more friendly, it will do no harm!

For the snark was a boojum, you see.
Lewis Carroll
Image
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.
Lewis Carroll

Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
Lewis Carroll
Image
No discussion between two persons can be of any use, until each knows clearly what it is that the other asserts.
Lewis Carroll
Image
Without a plan, it doesn't matter which way you're going.
Lewis Carroll
Image
When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!
Lewis Carroll
Image
If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn't matter which path you take.
Lewis Carroll
Image
While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.
Lewis Carroll
Image
We haven't any and you're too young.
Lewis Carroll
Image
To me it seems that to give happiness is a far nobler goal that to attain it: and that what we exist for is much more a matter of relations to others than a matter of individual progress: much more a matter of helping others to heaven than of getting there ourselves.
Lewis Carroll
Image
'Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked around the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. 'I don't see any wine,' she remarked. 'There isn't any,' said the March Hare.

The Mad Hatter: Would you like some wine? Alice: Yes... The Mad Hatter: We haven't any and you're too young.

You could not see a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky: No birds were flying overhead - There were no birds to fly.

It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
Lewis Carroll

In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?
