More quotes by Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
I'm very brave generally,' he went on in a low voice: 'only today I happen to have a headache.' (Tweedledum)
Lewis Carroll
You used to be much more...muchier. You've lost your muchness.
Lewis Carroll
A loaf of bread, the Walrus said, Is what we chiefly need: Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed-- Now if you're ready, Oysters, dear, We can begin to feed!
Lewis Carroll
One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it-- it was the black kitten's fault entirely.
Lewis Carroll
Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love that makes the world go round.
Lewis Carroll
One of the hardest things in the world is to convey a meaning accurately from one mind to another.
Lewis Carroll
Words mean more than we mean to express when we use them: so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer meant.
Lewis Carroll
Well, slithy means lithe and slimy. Lithe is the same as active. You see it's like a portmanteau - there are two meanings packed up into one word.
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?
Lewis Carroll
Where do you come from? And where are you going? Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time.
Lewis Carroll
Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before! Well, now that we have seen each other, said the unicorn, if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.
Lewis Carroll
