But, I nearly forgot, you must close your eyes otherwise you won't see anything.
Lewis Carroll
We haven't any and you're too young.
Lewis Carroll
Will you walk a little faster? said a whiting to a snail, There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail! See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance: They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?
Lewis Carroll
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Lewis Carroll
Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
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
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
Lewis Carroll
To me it seems that to give happiness is a far nobler goal that to attain it: and that what we exist for is much more a matter of relations to others than a matter of individual progress: much more a matter of helping others to heaven than of getting there ourselves.
Lewis Carroll
I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it.
Lewis Carroll
And as to being in a fright, Allow me to remark That Ghosts have just as good a right In every way, to fear the light, As Men to fear the dark.
Lewis Carroll
I don't think... then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.
Lewis Carroll
Better say nothing at all. Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!
Lewis Carroll
They've a temper, some of them - particularly verbs, they're the proudest - adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs.
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
So young a child ought to know which way she's going, even if she doesn't know her own name!
Lewis Carroll
When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!
Lewis Carroll
The proper definition of a man is an animal that writes letters.
Lewis Carroll
