More quotes by Lewis Carroll
Alice: How long is forever? White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.
Lewis Carroll
I don't want to take up literature in a money-making spirit, or be very anxious about making large profits, but selling it at a loss is another thing altogether, and an amusement I cannot well afford.
Lewis Carroll
You evidently do not suffer from quotation-hunger as I do! I get all the dictionaries of quotations I can meet with, as I always want to know where a quotation comes from.
Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly he spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws!
Lewis Carroll
His answer trickled through my head like water through a sieve.
Lewis Carroll
In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail--not the tail that wags the dog.
Lewis Carroll
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll
It's a large as life and twice as natural
Lewis Carroll
Here is a golden Rule.... Write legibly. The average temper of the human race would be perceptibly sweetened, if everybody obeyedthis Rule!
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 have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write, takes only about 3 minutes to read!
Lewis Carroll
Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing. Turn out your toes as you walk. And remember who you are!
Lewis Carroll
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret... All the best people are!
Lewis Carroll
Abstract qualities begin With capitals alway: The True, the Good, the Beautiful- Those are the things that pay!
Lewis Carroll
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
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
I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then
Lewis Carroll
With a sort of mental squint.
Lewis Carroll
To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said 'I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head. Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be, Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me.
Lewis Carroll
Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle.
Lewis Carroll
