Lewis Carroll
when she thought it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural
Lewis Carroll
I could have done it in a much more complicated way, said the Red Queen, immensely proud.
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
'O Tiger-lily,' said Alice... 'I wish you could talk!' 'We can talk,' said the Tiger-lily: 'when there's anybody worth talking to.
Lewis Carroll
Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before! Well, now that we have seen each other, said the unicorn, if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.
Lewis Carroll
I have seen so many extraordinary things, nothing seems extraordinary any more
