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
Either it brings tears to their eyes, or else - Or else what? said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause. Or else it doesn't, you know.
Lewis Carroll
Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.
