I can explain all the poems that were ever invented - and a good many that haven't been invented just yet.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Well, 'slithy' means 'lithe...

Well, 'slithy' means 'lithe and slimy.' 'Lithe' is the same as 'active.' You see it's like a portmanteau - there are two meanings packed up into one word.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Abstract qualities begin With ...

Abstract qualities begin With capitals alway: The True, the Good, the Beautiful- Those are the things that pay!

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

First, I hate all theological ...

First, I hate all theological controversy: it is wearing to the temper, and is I believe (at all events when viva voce) worse than useless.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Epithets, like pepper, Give ze...

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 401 quotes

As life draws nearer to its en...

As life draws nearer to its end, I feel more and more clearly that it will not matter in the least, at the last day, what form of religion a man has professed-nay, that many who have never even heard of Christ, will in that day find themselves saved by His blood.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Would you be a poet Before you...

Would you be a poet Before you've been to school? Ah, well! I hardly thought you So absolute a fool.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Do not, oh do not indulge such...

Do not, oh do not indulge such a wild idea that a newspaper might err! If so what have we to trust in this age of sham?

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

I cannot even pretend to feel ...

I cannot even pretend to feel as much interest in boys as in girls.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Death is always sad, I suppose...

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 401 quotes

No discussion between two pers...

No discussion between two persons can be of any use, until each knows clearly what it is that the other asserts.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Do you hear the snow against the windowpanes, Kitty? How nice and soft it sounds! Just as if some one was kissing the window all over outside. I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.' And when they wake up in the summer, Kitty, they dress themselves all in green, and dance aboutЂ'whenever the wind blows...

Alice: I simply must get through! Doorknob: Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassible. Alice: You mean impossible? Doorknob: No, impassible. Nothing's impossible.

Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea? Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more. March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less. Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Cheshire Cat: If I were lookin...

Cheshire Cat: If I were looking for a white rabbit, I'd ask the Mad Hatter. Alice: The Mad Hatter? Oh, no no no... Cheshire Cat: Or, you could ask the March Hare, in that direction. Alice: Oh, thank you. I think I'll see him... Cheshire Cat: Of course, he's mad, too. Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people. Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here. [laughs maniacally; starts to disappear] Cheshire Cat: You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself.

In a wonderland they lie, dreaming as the days go by

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

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 401 quotes

You could not see a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky: No birds were flying overhead - There were no birds to fly.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Words mean more than we mean to express when we use them: so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer meant.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

I wish I hadn't cried so much!...

I wish I hadn't cried so much!Ђќ said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out. I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears !
