More quotes by 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
When the sands are all dry, he is gay as a lark, And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark: But, when the tide rises and sharks are around, His voice has a timid and tremulous sound.
Lewis Carroll
But, said Alice, the the world has absolutely no sens, who's stopping us from inventing one?
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

Lewis Carroll
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end then stop.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
I cannot even pretend to feel as much interest in boys as in girls.
Lewis Carroll
One! two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snickersnack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
Lewis Carroll
Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing i ever saw in my life!
Lewis Carroll
Death is always sad, I suppose, to us who look forward to it: I expect it will seem very different when we can look back upon it.
Lewis Carroll
'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
I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.
Lewis Carroll
Is Life itself a dream, I wonder?
Lewis Carroll
You know, he (Tweedledee) added very gravely, it's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle--to get one's head cut off. pg. 199
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.
