"I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then."

"She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)."

"In vain we roared;in vain we triedTo rouse her into laughter:Her pensive glances wandered wideFrom orchestra to rafter -"TIER UPON TIER!" she said,and sighed;And silence followed after."

"Perhaps the hardest thing in all literature- at least I have found it so: by no voluntary effort can I accomplish it: I have to take it as it comes- is to write anything original. And perhaps the easiest is, when once an original line has been struck out, to follow it up, and to write any amount more to the same tune."

"Why it's simply impassible!Alice: Why, don't you mean impossible? Nothing's impossible!"

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

"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."

"But, said Alice, if the world has absolutely no sense, who's stopping us from inventing one?"

"There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents, and only one for birthday presents, you know."

"Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky."

"I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter."

"The rule is jam tomorrow and jam yesterday - but never jam today."

"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."

"I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then."

"Curiouser and curiouser."

"Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing--turn your toes out when you walk---And remember who you are!"

"No Ghost of any common sense begins a conversation."

"Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Agreed to have a battle For Tweedle Dum said Tweedle Dee Had spoiled his nice new rattle."

"In most gardens", the Tiger-lily said, "they make the beds too soft-so that the flowers are always asleep."

"Where should I go?" -Alice. "That depends on where you want to end up." - The Cheshire Cat."

"While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit."

"For I do not believe God means us thus to divide life into half halves - to wear a grave face on Sunday, and to think it out-of-place to even so much as mention Him on a weekday. Do you think he cares to see only kneeling figures, and to hear only tones of prayer - and that He does not also love to see the lambs leaping in the sunlight, and to hear the merry voices of the children as they roll among the hay? Surely their innocent laughter is as sweet in His ears as the grandest anthem that ever rolled up from the 'dim religious light' of some solemn cathedral?"

"Let craft, ambition, spite, Be quenched in Reason's night, Till weakness turn to might, Till what is dark be light, Till what is wrong be right!"

"'What is the use of a book', thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'"

"If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later."

"Sentence first, verdict afterwards."

"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!"

"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.''The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.''The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all."

"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change."

"The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth."

"You're enough to try the patience of an oyster!"

"Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves."

"How is it you can talk so nicely?' Alice said, hoping to get it into a better temper by a compliment. 'I've been in many gardens before, but none of the flowers could talk.''Put your hand down, and feel the ground,' said the Tiger-lily. 'Then you'll know why.'Alice did so. 'It's very hard,' she said, 'but I don't see what that has to do with it.''In most gardens,' the Tiger-lily said, 'they make the beds too soft - so that the flowers are always asleep."

"There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration."

"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards."

"Now here you see it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

"Then it doesn't matter which way you walk...-so long as I get somewhere."

"Little Alice fell d o w nthe hOle, bumped her head and bruised her soul."

"You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution to their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic."

"How long is forever? Sometimes just one second."

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

"'The time has come,' the walrus said, 'to talk of many things: of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings.'"

"If there is no meaning in it," said the King, "that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know."

"She who saves a single soul, saves the universe."

"All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone."

"I wish creatures wouldn't be so easily offended!", "You'll get used to it in time," said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again."

"Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. 'Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?''That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.'I don't much care where-' said Alice.'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.'-so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough."

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."

"No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise."

"One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others."
