A tale begun in other days, When summer suns were glowing - A simple chime, that served to time The rhythm of your rowing - Whose echoes live in memory yet, Though envious years would say 'forget.

Lewis Carroll
...those serpents! There's no pleasing them!
Lewis Carroll
Words mean more than we mean to express when we use them: so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer meant.
Lewis Carroll
Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.
Lewis Carroll
So young a child ought to know which way she's going, even if she doesn't know her own name!

Lewis Carroll
In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail--not the tail that wags the dog.
Lewis Carroll
Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.
