Lewis Carroll
Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas - only I don't exactly know what they are!
Lewis Carroll
I wish I could manage to be glad! Only I never can remember the rule. You must be very happy, living in this wood, and being glad whenever you like!
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
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
Why, you might just as well say that, I see what I eat, is the same as, I eat what I see.
Lewis Carroll
