Child of the pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and I and thou Are half a life asunder, Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy-tale.

More quotes by Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
Why is a raven like a writing desk? - Mad Hatter I haven't the slightest idea. - Alice
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly he spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws!
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
It is always allowable to ask for artichoke jelly with your boiled venison however there are houses where this is not supplied.

She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).
Lewis Carroll
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.
Lewis Carroll
When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!
Lewis Carroll
She can't do Subtraction. said the White Queen. Can you do Division? Divide a loaf by a knife-what's the answer to that? I suppose- Alice was beginning, but the Red Queen answered for her. Bread-and-butter, of course.
Lewis Carroll

Mad Hatter: “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?” “Have you guessed the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again. “No, I give it up,” Alice replied: “What’s the answer?” “I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter
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?
