Lewis Carroll
Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea? Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more. March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less. Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.
Lewis Carroll
Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before! Well, now that we have seen each other, said the unicorn, if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.
Lewis Carroll
You are old Father William,' the young man said, 'and your hair has become very white and yet you incessantly stand on your head-do you think, at your age, it is right?
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
I'm doubtful about the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the experiment?
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
