More quotes by Lewis Carroll
In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do.
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
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
Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.
Lewis Carroll
We're all mad here.
Lewis Carroll
And thus they give the time, that Nature meant for peaceful sleep and meditative snores, to ceaseless din and mindless merriment and waste of shoes and floors.
Lewis Carroll
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
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
If everybody minded their own business... the world would go round a deal faster than it does.
Lewis Carroll
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret... All the best people are!
Lewis Carroll
Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas - only I don't exactly know what they are!
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
Yes, that's it! Said the Hatter with a sigh, it's always tea time.
Lewis Carroll
I could have done it in a much more complicated way, said the Red Queen, immensely proud.
Lewis Carroll
Come back! the Caterpillar called after her. I've something important to say. This sounded promising, certainly. Alice turned and came back again. Keep your temper, said the Caterpillar.
Lewis Carroll
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
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 don't think... then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.
Lewis Carroll
Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea? Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more. March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less. Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.
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
