More quotes by Lewis Carroll
The Cheshire Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt it ought to be treated with respect.
Lewis Carroll
Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.
Lewis Carroll
There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. Which luckily I am.
Lewis Carroll
Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Lewis Carroll
Epithets, like pepper, Give zest to what you write And if you strew them sparely, They whet the appetite: But if you lay them on too thick, You spoil the matter quite!
Lewis Carroll
If it had grown up, it would have made a dreadfully ugly child but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.
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
I wish I dared dispense with all costume. Naked children are so perfectly pure and lovely but Mrs. Grundy would be furious - it would never do.
Lewis Carroll
Death is always sad, I suppose, to us who look forward to it: I expect it will seem very different when we can look back upon it.
Lewis Carroll
If doubtful whether to end with yours faithfully, or yours truly, or yours most truly, &c. (there are at least a dozen varieties, before you reach yours affectionately), refer to your correspondent's last letter, and make your winding-up at least as friendly as his: in fact, even if a shade more friendly, it will do no harm!
Lewis Carroll
In some ways, you know, people that don't exist, are much nicer than people that do.
Lewis Carroll
The recent extraordinary discovery in Photography, as applied in the operations of the mind, has reduced the art of novel-writing to the merest mechanical labour.
Lewis Carroll
To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said 'I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head. Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be, Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me.
Lewis Carroll
Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be and if it were so, it would be but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.
Lewis Carroll
Take my friends and my home - as an outcast I'll roam: Take the money I have in the bank: It is just what I wish, but deprive me of fish, And my life would indeed be blank.
Lewis Carroll
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.
Lewis Carroll
Alice: This is impossible. The Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.

Curiouser and curiouser.
