More quotes by 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
Here is a golden Rule.... Write legibly. The average temper of the human race would be perceptibly sweetened, if everybody obeyedthis Rule!
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
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
His answer trickled through my head like water through a sieve.
Lewis Carroll
Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.
Lewis Carroll
As life draws nearer to its end, I feel more and more clearly that it will not matter in the least, at the last day, what form of religion a man has professed-nay, that many who have never even heard of Christ, will in that day find themselves saved by His blood.
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
You used to be much more...muchier. You've lost your muchness.
Lewis Carroll
What do you suppose is the use of a child without any meaning? Even a joke should have some meaning-- and a child's more imporant than a joke, I hope. You couldn't deny that, even if you tried with both hands.
Lewis Carroll
I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.
Lewis Carroll
In proceeding to the dining-room, the gentleman gives one arm to the lady he escorts--it is unusual to offer both.
Lewis Carroll
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. I don't much care where – Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly he spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws!
Lewis Carroll
No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.
Lewis Carroll
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
To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said 'I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head. Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be, Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me.
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
Alice: How long is forever? White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.
Lewis Carroll
You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk.
Lewis Carroll
