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 give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.
Lewis Carroll
She can't do Subtraction. said the White Queen. Can you do Division? Divide a loaf by a knife-what's the answer to that? I suppose- Alice was beginning, but the Red Queen answered for her. Bread-and-butter, of course.
Lewis Carroll
It's too late to correct it: when you've once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.
Lewis Carroll
