Lewis Carroll
Why is it that people with the most narrow of minds seem to have the widest of mouths?
Lewis Carroll
Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
Lewis Carroll
Reeling and Writhing of course, to begin with,' the Mock Turtle replied, 'and the different branches of arithmetic-ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision.
