More quotes by Lewis Carroll
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.
Lewis Carroll
I dare say you never even spoke to Time! Perhaps not, Alice cautiously replied but I know I have to beat time when I listen to music. Ah! That accounts for it, said the Hatter. He won't stand a beating. Now, if only you kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you like with the clock.
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
Write that down, the King said to the jury, and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence.
Lewis Carroll
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end then stop.
Lewis Carroll
One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it-- it was the black kitten's fault entirely.
Lewis Carroll
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
Lewis Carroll
Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy tale.
Lewis Carroll
They've a temper, some of them - particularly verbs, they're the proudest - adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs.
Lewis Carroll
One of the deepest motives (as you are aware) in the human beast (so deep that many have failed to detect it) is Alliteration.
Lewis Carroll
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!
Lewis Carroll
Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.
Lewis Carroll
Will you walk a little faster? said a whiting to a snail, There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail! See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance: They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?
Lewis Carroll
Mad Hatter: “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?” “Have you guessed the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again. “No, I give it up,” Alice replied: “What’s the answer?” “I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter
Lewis Carroll
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Lewis Carroll
Speak English!' said the Eaglet. 'I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and I don't believe you do either!
Lewis Carroll
Either it brings tears to their eyes, or else - Or else what? said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause. Or else it doesn't, you know.
Lewis Carroll
Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love that makes the world go round.
Lewis Carroll
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'
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
