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
Well, it's no use your talking about waking him, said Tweedledum, when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
In a wonderland they lie, dreaming as the days go by
Lewis Carroll
She felt a little nervous about this 'for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, 'in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?'

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
People who don't think shouldn't talk.
Lewis Carroll
I wish I dared dispense with all costume. Naked children are so perfectly pure and lovely but Mrs. Grundy would be furious - it would never do.
Lewis Carroll
I should like the whole race of nurses to be abolished: children should be with their mother as much as possible, in my opinion.
Lewis Carroll
Abstract qualities begin With capitals alway: The True, the Good, the Beautiful- Those are the things that pay!
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
It takes all the running you can do just to keep in the same place.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
