More quotes by Lewis Carroll
She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
Lewis Carroll
In proceeding to the dining-room, the gentleman gives one arm to the lady he escorts--it is unusual to offer both.
Lewis Carroll
In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?
Lewis Carroll
She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).
Lewis Carroll
have i gone mad? im afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usualy are.
Lewis Carroll
With a sort of mental squint.
Lewis Carroll
Will you walk a little faster? said a whiting to a snail, There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail! See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance: They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?
Lewis Carroll
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Lewis Carroll
So she sat on with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality.
Lewis Carroll
Courtesy is a small act but it packs a mighty wallop.
Lewis Carroll
I said it in Hebrew—I said it in Dutch— I said it in German and Greek But I wholly forgot (and it vexes me much) That English is what you speak!
Lewis Carroll
Do you suppose she's a wildflower?
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
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.'
Lewis Carroll
Curiouser and curiouser.
Lewis Carroll
It's a large as life and twice as natural
Lewis Carroll
All in the golden afternoon Full leisurely we glide For both our oars, with little skill, By little arms are plied, While little hands make vain pretence Our wanderings to guide.
Lewis Carroll
Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.
Lewis Carroll
Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.
Lewis Carroll
In a wonderland they lie, dreaming as the days go by
