People who don't think shouldn't talk.
Lewis Carroll
Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.
Lewis Carroll
She's stark raving mad!
Lewis Carroll
Then you should say what you mean, the March Hare went on. I do, Alice hastily replied at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know. Not the same thing a bit! said the Hatter. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see!
Lewis Carroll
Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be and if it were so, it would be but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.

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
I have often seen a cat without a grin - but a grin without a cat - remember the cat kept appearing and disappearing slowly bit by bit.
Lewis Carroll
Forbid the day when vivisection shall be practised in every college and school, and when the man of science, looking forth over a world which will then own no other sway than his, shall exult in the thought that he has made of this fair earth, if not a heaven, at least a hell for animals.
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
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
Lewis Carroll
Curiouser and curiouser.
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
Child of the pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder.
Lewis Carroll
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
Lewis Carroll
Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Lewis Carroll
The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday-but never jam today It must come sometime to jam today, Alice objected No it can't said the Queen It's jame every other day. Today isn't any other day, you know
