More quotes by Lewis Carroll

Image
It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that, whatever you say to them, they always purr: If they would only purr for 'yes,' and mew for 'no, or any rule of that sort, she had said, so that one could keep up a conversation! But how can you talk with a person if they always say the same thing?
Lewis Carroll
Image
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.
Lewis Carroll
Image
I wish I dared dispense with all costume. Naked children are so perfectly pure and lovely but Mrs. Grundy would be furious - it would never do.
Lewis Carroll
Image
One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.
Lewis Carroll
Image
Death is always sad, I suppose, to us who look forward to it: I expect it will seem very different when we can look back upon it.
Lewis Carroll
Image
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll
Image
I don't want to take up literature in a money-making spirit, or be very anxious about making large profits, but selling it at a loss is another thing altogether, and an amusement I cannot well afford.
Lewis Carroll
Image
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be it would. You see?
Lewis Carroll
Image
Courtesy is a small act but it packs a mighty wallop.
Lewis Carroll
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).
Lewis Carroll
Image
Well, when one's lost, I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you.
Lewis Carroll
Image
But, I nearly forgot, you must close your eyes otherwise you won't see anything.
Lewis Carroll
Image
We haven't any and you're too young.
Lewis Carroll
Image
Child of the pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and I and thou Are half a life asunder, Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy-tale.
Lewis Carroll
Image
She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
Lewis Carroll
Image
The Cheshire Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt it ought to be treated with respect.
Lewis Carroll
Image
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.
