Lewis Carroll
And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! He chortled in his joy.
Lewis Carroll
One can't believe impossible things.

Lewis Carroll
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Lewis Carroll
Ill try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.
Lewis Carroll
What do you suppose is the use of a child without any meaning? Even a joke should have some meaning-- and a child's more imporant than a joke, I hope. You couldn't deny that, even if you tried with both hands.
Lewis Carroll

Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
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
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
Well, when one's lost, I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you.
Lewis Carroll
One of the deepest motives (as you are aware) in the human beast (so deep that many have failed to detect it) is Alliteration.
Lewis Carroll
...those serpents! There's no pleasing them!
Lewis Carroll
You would have to be half-mad to dream me up.
Lewis Carroll
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.'
Lewis Carroll
Come back! the Caterpillar called after her. I've something important to say. This sounded promising, certainly. Alice turned and came back again. Keep your temper, said the Caterpillar.
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
For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
Lewis Carroll
In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?
Lewis Carroll
