Lewis Carroll
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
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
Take my friends and my home - as an outcast I'll roam: Take the money I have in the bank: It is just what I wish, but deprive me of fish, And my life would indeed be blank.
Lewis Carroll
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Lewis Carroll
The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday-but never jam today It must come sometime to jam today, Alice objected No it can't said the Queen It's jame every other day. Today isn't any other day, you know
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
I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.
Lewis Carroll
They've a temper, some of them - particularly verbs, they're the proudest - adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs.
Lewis Carroll
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.
Lewis Carroll
