Lewis Carroll
Be who you are, said the Duchess to Alice, or, if you would like it put more simply, never try to be what you might have been or could have been other than what you should have been.
Lewis Carroll
Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle.
Lewis Carroll
In autumn, when the leaves are brown, Take pen and ink, and write it down.
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
Why is it that people with the most narrow of minds seem to have the widest of mouths?
Lewis Carroll
Come back! the Caterpillar called after her. I've something important to say. This sounded promising, certainly. Alice turned and came back again. Keep your temper, said the Caterpillar.
