There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll
With a sort of mental squint.
Lewis Carroll
I could have done it in a much more complicated way, said the Red Queen, immensely proud.
Lewis Carroll
While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.
Lewis Carroll
Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy tale.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Lewis Carroll

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
You could not see a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky: No birds were flying overhead - There were no birds to fly.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end then stop.
Lewis Carroll
I am fond of children - except boys.
Lewis Carroll
If only I could manage, without annoyance to my family, to get imprisoned for 10 years, without hard labour, and with the use of books and writing materials, it would be simply delightful!
Lewis Carroll
It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that, whatever you say to them, they always purr: If they would only purr for 'yes,' and mew for 'no, or any rule of that sort, she had said, so that one could keep up a conversation! But how can you talk with a person if they always say the same thing?
Lewis Carroll
There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.
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
What a strange world we live in...Said Alice to the Queen of hearts
