More quotes by Lewis Carroll
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
Would you be a poet Before you've been to school? Ah, well! I hardly thought you So absolute a fool.
Lewis Carroll
You evidently do not suffer from quotation-hunger as I do! I get all the dictionaries of quotations I can meet with, as I always want to know where a quotation comes from.
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
Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.' I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!
Lewis Carroll
And how many hours a day did you do lessons?' said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject. Ten hours the first day,' said the Mock Turtle: 'nine the next, and so on.' What a curious plan!' exclaimed Alice. That's the reason they're called lessons,' the Gryphon remarked: 'because they lessen from day to day.
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
Alice: I simply must get through! Doorknob: Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassible. Alice: You mean impossible? Doorknob: No, impassible. Nothing's impossible.
Lewis Carroll
Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.
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
'And how, who am I? I will remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!' But being determined didn't help much.
Lewis Carroll
I don't think... then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.
Lewis Carroll
I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it.
Lewis Carroll
Where do you come from? And where are you going? Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time.
Lewis Carroll
Where one is hopelessly undecided as to what to say, there (as Confucius would have said, if they had given him the opportunity) silence is golden.
Lewis Carroll
Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing. Turn out your toes as you walk. And remember who you are!
Lewis Carroll
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
The horror of that moment, the King went on, I shall never, never forget! You will, though, the Queen said, if you don't make a memorandum of it.
Lewis Carroll
One can't believe impossible things.
Lewis Carroll
Beware the Jabberwock, my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!
