Lewis Carroll
In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do.
Lewis Carroll
Alice: How long is forever? White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
She can't do sums a bit! the Queens said together, with great emphasis. Can you do sums? Alice said, turning suddenly on the White Queen, for she didn't like being found fault with so much. The Queen gasped and shut her eyes. I can do Addition, if you give me time-but I can do Subtraction, under any circumstances!

'And how, who am I? I will remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!' But being determined didn't help much.
Lewis Carroll
One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.
Lewis Carroll
If everybody minded their own business... the world would go round a deal faster than it does.
Lewis Carroll

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
Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas - only I don't exactly know what they are!
Lewis Carroll
Once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people.
Lewis Carroll
She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).
Lewis Carroll
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.
Lewis Carroll
Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle.
Lewis Carroll
Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.
Lewis Carroll
She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
Lewis Carroll
Well, when one's lost, I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you.
Lewis Carroll
There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.
Lewis Carroll
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret... All the best people are!
Lewis Carroll
