Lewis Carroll
And thus they give the time, that Nature meant for peaceful sleep and meditative snores, to ceaseless din and mindless merriment and waste of shoes and floors.
Lewis Carroll
Either it brings tears to their eyes, or else - Or else what? said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause. Or else it doesn't, you know.
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
If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much!
Lewis Carroll
She's in that state of mind that she wants to deny SOMETHING only she doesn't know what to deny!
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
Do you suppose she's a wildflower?
Lewis Carroll
So young a child ought to know which way she's going, even if she doesn't know her own name!
