That's the reason they're called lessons, because they lesson from day to day.
Lewis Carroll
Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
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
The proper definition of a man is an animal that writes letters.
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

Lewis Carroll
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.
Lewis Carroll
Why, you might just as well say that, I see what I eat, is the same as, I eat what I see.
Lewis Carroll
I wish I could manage to be glad! Only I never can remember the rule. You must be very happy, living in this wood, and being glad whenever you like!
Lewis Carroll
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll
...those serpents! There's no pleasing them!
Lewis Carroll
She's in that state of mind that she wants to deny SOMETHING only she doesn't know what to deny!
Lewis Carroll
Child of the pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and I and thou Are half a life asunder, Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy-tale.
Lewis Carroll
Where do you come from? And where are you going? Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time.
Lewis Carroll
Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.' I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!
Lewis Carroll
I could have done it in a much more complicated way, said the Red Queen, immensely proud.
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
It was for bringing the cook tulip-roots instead of onions.
Lewis Carroll
