More quotes by 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
Which form of proverb do you prefer Better late than never, or Better never than late?
Lewis Carroll
Abstract qualities begin With capitals alway: The True, the Good, the Beautiful- Those are the things that pay!
Lewis Carroll
Who ARE You? This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.

Lewis Carroll
Do you suppose she's a wildflower?
Lewis Carroll
Mad Hatter: “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?” “Have you guessed the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again. “No, I give it up,” Alice replied: “What’s the answer?” “I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter
Lewis Carroll
I'm doubtful about the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the experiment?
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
'O Tiger-lily,' said Alice... 'I wish you could talk!' 'We can talk,' said the Tiger-lily: 'when there's anybody worth talking to.
Lewis Carroll
I have seen so many extraordinary things, nothing seems extraordinary any more
Lewis Carroll
Alice: I simply must get through! Doorknob: Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassible. Alice: You mean impossible? Doorknob: No, impassible. Nothing's impossible.
Lewis Carroll
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Lewis Carroll
Child of the pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder.
Lewis Carroll
Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Lewis Carroll
In autumn, when the leaves are brown, Take pen and ink, and write it down.
Lewis Carroll
