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

The Good and Great must ever ...

The Good and Great must ever shun That reckless and abandoned one Who stoops to perpetrate a pun.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Be sure the safest rule is that we should not dare to live in any scene in which we dare not die.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

I wish I could manage to be g...

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 401 quotes

Can you row?" the Sheep asked...

Can you row?" the Sheep asked, handing her a pair of knitting-needles as she spoke. "Yes, a little--but not on land--and not with needles--" Alice was beginning to say.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Still, as Christmas-tide come...

Still, as Christmas-tide comes round, They remember it again - Echo still the joyful sound "Peace on earth, good-will to men!"

It was for bringing the cook tulip-roots instead of onions.

Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing i ever saw in my life!

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

All in the golden afternoon Full leisurely we glide; For both our oars, with little skill, By little arms are plied, While little hands make vain pretence Our wanderings to guide.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

And thus they give the time, ...

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 401 quotes

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall...

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again

PLAIN SUPERFICIALITY is the character of a speech, in which any two points being taken, the speaker is found to lie wholly with regard to those two points.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

When all has been considered,...

When all has been considered, it seems to me to be the irresistible intuition that infinite punishment for finite sin would be unjust, and therefore wrong. We feel that even weak and erring Man would shrink from such an act. And we cannot conceive of God as acting on a lower standard of right and wrong.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Still she haunts me, phantomwise, Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

My hand moves because certain...

My hand moves because certain forces--electric, magnetic, or whatever 'nerve-force' may prove to be--are impressed on it by my brain. This nerve-force, stored in the brain, would probably be traceable, if Science were complete, to chemical forces supplied to the brain by the blood, and ultimately derived from the food I eat and the air I breathe.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

You could not see a cloud, be...

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

Thy loving smile will surely ...

Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy tale.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

Then you should say what you ...

Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on. "I do," Alice hastily replied; "at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know." "Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter. "You might just as well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see"!

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

I do not know if Alice in Won...

I do not know if Alice in Wonderland was an original story-I was, at least, no conscious imitator in writing it-but I do know that, since it came out, something like a dozen story-books have appeared, on identically the same pattern. The path I timidly explored believing myself to be 'the first that ever burst into that silent sea'-is now a beaten high-road: all the way-side flowers have long ago been trampled into the dust: and it would be courting disaster for me to attempt that style again.

Lewis Carroll 401 quotes

It'll be no use their putting...

It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying "Come up again, dear!" I shall only look up and say "Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down here till I'm somebody else"--but, oh dear!' cried Alice, with a sudden burst of tears, 'I do wish they WOULD put their heads down! I am so VERY tired of being all alone here!
