Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make ONE respectable person!
If you knew Time as well as I do,' said the Hatter, ‘you wouldn't talk about wasting it. It's him.
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'!
No Ghost of any common sense begins a conversation.
That's the reason they're called lessons...because they lessen from day to day.
She's stark raving mad!
It's ridiculous to leave all the conversation to the pudding!
I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole—and yet—and yet—it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life!
When I make a word do a lot of work like that,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'I always pay it extra.
Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. ‘Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.' And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side as she spoke.
When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
What curious attitudes he goes into!' (For the messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along, with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.)'Not at all,' said the King.

Duchess's knee, while plates and dishes crashed around it--once more the shriek of the Gryphon, the squeaking of the Lizard's slate-pencil, and the choking of the suppressed guinea-pigs, filled the air, mixed up with the.
Do you suppose she's a wildflower?
How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here.
You can always take more than nothing.
She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
Rabbit-Hole Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting.
I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears!
The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings.
Off with their heads!
The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog, which seemed to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting one of them with the other: the only difficulty was, that her flamingo was gone across to.
It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that whatever you say to them, they always purr.
Ah, my dear! Let this be a lesson to you never to lose your temper!' 'Hold your tongue, Ma!' said the young Crab, a little snappishly. 'You're enough to try the patience of an oyster!' 'I wish I had our Dinah here, I know I do!' said Alice aloud, addressing nobody in particular.
Alice gave a little scream of laughter.

You mean you ca'n't take less, said the Hatter: it's very easy to take more than nothing.
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!
You know very well you're not real.
Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, What road do I take? The cat asked, Where do you want to go? I don't know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it really doesn't matter, does it?
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.
It isn't respectable to beg.
I see nobody on the road,' said Alice. 'I only wish I had such eyes,' the King remarked in a fretful tone. 'To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance, too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!
It's the stupidest tea party I ever was at in all my life!
We are all mad here.
Alice laughed . There's no use trying, she said: one can't believe impossible things.I daresay you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
You don't know much,' said the Dutchess; 'and that's a fact.
Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
