Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy tale.
Lewis Carroll
Well, slithy means lithe and slimy. Lithe is the same as active. You see it's like a portmanteau - there are two meanings packed up into one word.
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
Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.
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

Lewis Carroll
Well, when one's lost, I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you.
Lewis Carroll
Once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people.
Lewis Carroll
Be sure the safest rule is that we should not dare to live in any scene in which we dare not die.
Lewis Carroll
Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Lewis Carroll
If there's no meaning in it, said the King, that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know, he went on [...] I seem to see some meaning in them, after all.
Lewis Carroll
A tale begun in other days, When summer suns were glowing - A simple chime, that served to time The rhythm of your rowing - Whose echoes live in memory yet, Though envious years would say 'forget.
Lewis Carroll
What does it matter where my body happens to be?' he said. 'My mind goes on working all the same.
Lewis Carroll
Still, as Christmas-tide comes round, They remember it again - Echo still the joyful sound Peace on earth, good-will to men!
Lewis Carroll
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
A loaf of bread, the Walrus said, Is what we chiefly need: Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed-- Now if you're ready, Oysters, dear, We can begin to feed!
Lewis Carroll
