More quotes by Lewis Carroll
I dare say you never even spoke to Time! Perhaps not, Alice cautiously replied but I know I have to beat time when I listen to music. Ah! That accounts for it, said the Hatter. He won't stand a beating. Now, if only you kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you like with the clock.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
What I tell you three times is true.
Lewis Carroll
The Good and Great must ever shun That reckless and abandoned one Who stoops to perpetrate a pun.
Lewis Carroll
Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy tale.
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
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
How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly he spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws!
Lewis Carroll
Come, hearken then, ere voice of dread, with bitter tiding laden, shall summon to unwelcome bed a melancholy maiden! We are but older children, dear, who fret to find our bedtime near.
Lewis Carroll
I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it.
Lewis Carroll
I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then
Lewis Carroll
And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl Brimming over with quivering curds!
Lewis Carroll
