If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be it would. You see?

Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Lewis Carroll
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
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
Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.
Lewis Carroll
I cannot even pretend to feel as much interest in boys as in girls.
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
The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday-but never jam today It must come sometime to jam today, Alice objected No it can't said the Queen It's jame every other day. Today isn't any other day, you know
Lewis Carroll
I have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write, takes only about 3 minutes to read!
Lewis Carroll
