Lewis Carroll
Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.
Lewis Carroll
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
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
The vast unfathomable sea Is but a Notion-unto me.
Lewis Carroll
The horror of that moment, the King went on, I shall never, never forget! You will, though, the Queen said, if you don't make a memorandum of it.
Lewis Carroll
No discussion between two persons can be of any use, until each knows clearly what it is that the other asserts.
