More quotes by Lewis Carroll
So she sat on with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality.
Lewis Carroll
But, I nearly forgot, you must close your eyes otherwise you won't see anything.
Lewis Carroll
I dare say you never even spoke to Time! Perhaps not, Alice cautiously replied but I know I have to beat time when I listen to music. Ah! That accounts for it, said the Hatter. He won't stand a beating. Now, if only you kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you like with the clock.
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
I can explain all the poems that were ever invented - and a good many that haven't been invented just yet.
Lewis Carroll
Do you suppose she's a wildflower?
Lewis Carroll
Come, hearken then, ere voice of dread, with bitter tiding laden, shall summon to unwelcome bed a melancholy maiden! We are but older children, dear, who fret to find our bedtime near.
Lewis Carroll
'Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked around the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. 'I don't see any wine,' she remarked. 'There isn't any,' said the March Hare.
Lewis Carroll
Then you should say what you mean, the March Hare went on. I do, Alice hastily replied at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know. Not the same thing a bit! said the Hatter. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see!
Lewis Carroll
First, I hate all theological controversy: it is wearing to the temper, and is I believe (at all events when viva voce) worse than useless.
Lewis Carroll
she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice.
Lewis Carroll
Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing. Turn out your toes as you walk. And remember who you are!
Lewis Carroll
As life draws nearer to its end, I feel more and more clearly that it will not matter in the least, at the last day, what form of religion a man has professed-nay, that many who have never even heard of Christ, will in that day find themselves saved by His blood.
Lewis Carroll
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
Lewis Carroll
We're all mad here.
Lewis Carroll
The proper definition of a man is an animal that writes letters.
Lewis Carroll
If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
Lewis Carroll
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. I don't much care where – Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
Lewis Carroll
But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day, If your Snark be a Boojum! for then You will softly and suddenly vanish away, And never be met with again!
Lewis Carroll
She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
Lewis Carroll
