Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
If doubtful whether to end with yours faithfully, or yours truly, or yours most truly, &c.

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

Lewis Carroll
The Mad Hatter: Would you like some wine? Alice: Yes... The Mad Hatter: We haven't any and you're too young.
Lewis Carroll
Then you should say what you mean, the March Hare went on. I do, Alice hastily replied at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know. Not the same thing a bit! said the Hatter. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see!
Lewis Carroll
I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir,' said Alice, 'Because I'm not myself you see.
Lewis Carroll
No Ghost of any common sense begins a conversation
Lewis Carroll
You evidently do not suffer from quotation-hunger as I do! I get all the dictionaries of quotations I can meet with, as I always want to know where a quotation comes from.
Lewis Carroll
And thus they give the time, that Nature meant for peaceful sleep and meditative snores, to ceaseless din and mindless merriment and waste of shoes and floors.
Lewis Carroll
It's too late to correct it: when you've once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
The horror of that moment, the King went on, I shall never, never forget! You will, though, the Queen said, if you don't make a memorandum of it.
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
