More quotes by Lewis Carroll
Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas - only I don't exactly know what they are!
Lewis Carroll
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
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!
Lewis Carroll
Beware the Jabberwock, my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!
Lewis Carroll
'Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked around the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. 'I don't see any wine,' she remarked. 'There isn't any,' said the March Hare.
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's always tea-time.
Lewis Carroll
In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do.
Lewis Carroll
Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle.
Lewis Carroll
The proper definition of a man is an animal that writes letters.
Lewis Carroll
It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know.
Lewis Carroll
If you want to inspire confidence, give plenty of statistics. It does not matter that they should be accurate, or even intelligible, as long as there is enough of them.
Lewis Carroll
I have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write, takes only about 3 minutes to read!
Lewis Carroll
Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
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
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
Lewis Carroll
I dare say you never even spoke to Time! Perhaps not, Alice cautiously replied but I know I have to beat time when I listen to music. Ah! That accounts for it, said the Hatter. He won't stand a beating. Now, if only you kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you like with the clock.
Lewis Carroll
To me it seems that to give happiness is a far nobler goal that to attain it: and that what we exist for is much more a matter of relations to others than a matter of individual progress: much more a matter of helping others to heaven than of getting there ourselves.
Lewis Carroll
It's too late to correct it: when you've once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.
Lewis Carroll
The Cheshire Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt it ought to be treated with respect.
