Lewis Carroll
Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to.
Lewis Carroll
Which form of proverb do you prefer Better late than never, or Better never than late?

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
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'
Lewis Carroll
I have seen so many extraordinary things, nothing seems extraordinary any more
Lewis Carroll
If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn't matter which path you take.
Lewis Carroll
One can't believe impossible things.
Lewis Carroll
