More quotes by Lewis Carroll
One of the deepest motives (as you are aware) in the human beast (so deep that many have failed to detect it) is Alliteration.
Lewis Carroll
In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?
Lewis Carroll
Is Life itself a dream, I wonder?
Lewis Carroll
I said it in Hebrew—I said it in Dutch— I said it in German and Greek But I wholly forgot (and it vexes me much) That English is what you speak!
Lewis Carroll
I'm doubtful about the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the experiment?
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
What do you suppose is the use of a child without any meaning? Even a joke should have some meaning-- and a child's more imporant than a joke, I hope. You couldn't deny that, even if you tried with both hands.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! He chortled in his joy.
Lewis Carroll
If you set to work to believe everything, you will tire out the believing-muscles of your mind, and then you'll be so weak you won't be able to believe the simplest true things.
Lewis Carroll
If he smiled much more, the ends of his mouth might meet behind, and then I don't know what would happen to his head! I'm afraid it would come off!
Lewis Carroll
Without a plan, it doesn't matter which way you're going.
Lewis Carroll
For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
Lewis Carroll
If you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.
Lewis Carroll
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll
In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail--not the tail that wags the dog.
Lewis Carroll
No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.
Lewis Carroll
The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday - but never jam today.
Lewis Carroll
You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk.
Lewis Carroll
