For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

Lewis Carroll
I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.
Lewis Carroll
Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to.
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
Do you suppose she's a wildflower?
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
The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday - but never jam today.
Lewis Carroll
This was charming, no doubt but they shortly found out That the Captain they trusted so well Had only one notion for crossing the ocean, And that was to tingle his bell.
Lewis Carroll
May we not then sometimes define insanity as an inability to distinguish which is the waking and which the sleeping life? We often dream without the least suspicion of unreality: 'Sleep hath its own world', and it is often as lifelike as the other.
Lewis Carroll
Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy tale.
