More quotes by Lewis Carroll
If doubtful whether to end with yours faithfully, or yours truly, or yours most truly, &c. (there are at least a dozen varieties, before you reach yours affectionately), refer to your correspondent's last letter, and make your winding-up at least as friendly as his: in fact, even if a shade more friendly, it will do no harm!
Lewis Carroll
You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk.
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.
Lewis Carroll
She felt a little nervous about this 'for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, 'in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?' And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
Lewis Carroll
But, said Alice, the the world has absolutely no sens, who's stopping us from inventing one?
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
I cannot even pretend to feel as much interest in boys as in girls.
Lewis Carroll
It's always tea-time.
Lewis Carroll
And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl Brimming over with quivering curds!
Lewis Carroll
Which form of proverb do you prefer Better late than never, or Better never than late?
Lewis Carroll
Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.
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
For first you write a sentence, And then you chop it small Then mix the bits and sort them out Just as they chance to fall: The order of the phrases makes no difference at all.
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
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
Lewis Carroll
Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
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
Child of the pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder.
Lewis Carroll
If you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.
Lewis Carroll
Why is it that people with the most narrow of minds seem to have the widest of mouths?
Lewis Carroll
