| 0754fd7 | Again, the first "o" in "borogoves" is pronounced like the "o" in "borrow." I have heard people try to give it the sound of the "o" in "worry". Such is Human Perversity." | Lewis Carroll | ||
| cd53134 | What do you call yourself?' the Fawn said at last. Such a soft sweet voice it had! 'I wish I knew!' thought poor Alice. She answered, rather sadly, 'Nothing, just now.' 'Think again,' it said: 'that won't do.' Alice thought, but nothing came of it. 'Please, would you tell me what YOU call yourself?' she said timidly. 'I think that might help a little.' 'I'll tell you, if you'll come a little further on,' the Fawn said. 'I can't remember her.. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 6138388 | They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 23d91aa | is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?' So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain | Lewis Carroll | ||
| e41b08e | Well!' thought Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!' (Which was very likely true.) | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 2836177 | Podrias decirme, por favor, que camino he de tomar para salir de aqui? --Depende mucho del punto adonde quieras ir --contesto el Gato. --Me da casi igual adonde --dijo Alicia. --Entonces no importa que camino sigas --dijo el Gato. --...siempre que llegue a alguna parte --anadio Alicia, a modo de explicacion. --!Ah!, seguro que lo consigues --dijo el Gato--, si andas lo suficiente. | spanish país-de-las-maravillas cheshire español lewis-carroll | Lewis Carroll | |

| e5e8eda | 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 | Lewis Carroll | ||
| ae307dc | So she set the little creature down, and felt quite relieved to see it trot away quietly into the wood. 'If it had grown up,' she said to herself, 'it would have made a dreadfully ugly child: but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 15f8040 | 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! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I'll write one--but I'm grown up now," she added in a sorrowful tone: "at least there's no room to grow up any more here." | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 37a451f | Oh, you ca'n't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." -- | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 1ccceb0 | Je vois personne sur la route", dit Alice. "Comme je voudrais avoir d'aussi bons yeux", remarqua le roi d'un ton amer. "Voir Personne! Et a cette distance encore! Moi, tout ce dont je suis capable de voir, sous cette lumiere, c'est des gens!" | Lewis Carroll | ||
| cf634c3 | Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way. So she set to work, and very soon finished off the cake. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| db3a6c5 | The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on the slates. "What are they doing?" Alice whispered to the Gryphon. "They can't have anything to put down yet, before the trial's begun." "They're putting down their names," the Gryphon whispered in reply, "for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial." | humor philisophical | Lewis Carroll | |

I have met with a good deal of utter misrepresentation of that kind. And another result of my experience is the conviction that the opinion .. | heresay mary-collingwood gossips rumor reputation hearsay gossip rumors | Lewis Carroll | |
| 3a715d3 | Antipathies, I think--' (she was rather glad there WAS no one listening, this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) '--but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia? | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 8014677 | And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| e88fe47 | 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." | motivational guidance | Lewis Carroll | |
| ee7f816 | The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She'll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets! Where can I have dropped them, I wonder? | Lewis Carroll | ||
| bad6198 | Back home, we can't kill them fast enough," he says. "Even Grahamites offer blue bills for their skins. Probably the only thing they've ever done that I agreed with." "Mmm, yes." Emiko's brow wrinkles thoughtfully. "They are too much improved for this world, I think. A natural bird has so little chance, now." She smiles slightly. "Just think if they had made New People first." Is it mischief in her eyes? Or melancholy? "What do you think wo.. | Paolo Bacigalupi | ||
| dfad29b | I entered my room, and undrew the window-curtains, just in time to see the sun burst in glory from his ocean-prison, and clothe the world in the light of a new day. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| b0e191e | Alice replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, Sir, just at present--at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then." | Lewis Carroll | ||

| 8c06ece | He wasn't running," said Bruno, "and he wasn't crawling. He went struggling along like a portmanteau. And he held his chin ever so high in the air--" | Lewis Carroll | ||
| acec913 | 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? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?" | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 9392347 | Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a littl.. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 3d60f7e | I thought you did,' said the Mouse. `--I proceed. "Edwin and Morcar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria, declared for him: and even Stigand, the patriotic archbishop of Canterbury, found it advisable--"' `Found WHAT?' said the Duck. `Found IT,' the Mouse replied rather crossly: `of course you know what "it" means.' `I know what "it" means well enough, when I find a thing,' said the Duck: `it 's generally a frog or a worm. The question is, .. | Lewis Carroll | ||

| 028a66f | There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her f.. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| e0b2043 | I've a right to think," said Alice sharply. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| 8c8e8d4 | I suppose you don't want to lose your name?' 'No, indeed,' Alice said, a little anxiously. 'And yet I don't know,' the Gnat went on in a careless tone: 'only think how convenient it would be if you could manage to go home without it! For instance, if the governess wanted to call you to your lessons, she would call out "come here--," and there she would have to leave off, because there wouldn't be any name for her to call, and of course you .. | through-the-looking-glass lewis-carroll | Lewis Carroll | |
| 9d1a3c9 | She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it) | Lewis Carroll | ||
| b011bca | Come, there's no use in crying like that!' said Alice to herself, rather sharply; 'I advise you to leave off this minute!' She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was .. | Lewis Carroll | ||

| 9f9873c | Speak English!" said the Eaglet. "I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and, what's more, I don't believe you do either!" And the Eaglet bend down its head to hide a smile: some of the other birds tittered audibly." | mocking wonderland english language speech | Lewis Carroll | |
| 0eb777b | The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. | Lewis Carroll | ||
| e35ac47 | Bir de burasi bu kadar issiz olmasa!' dedi Alice huzunlu bir ses tonuyla; yalnizligi aklina gelir gelmez de kocaman iki damla gozyasi yanaklarindan asagi suzulmeye basladi. 'Ah, yapma boyle!' diye ciglik kopardi zavalli Kralice, caresizlikten ellerini ovusturarak. 'Ne muthis bir kiz oldugunu dusun. Bugun ne uzun bir yol kat ettigini dusun. Saatin kac oldugunu dusun.

| 977d2a6 | 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! | nobody sight | Lewis Carroll | |
| 96c27f1 | And is not that a Mother's gentle hand that undraws your curtains, and a Mother's sweet voice that summons you to rise? To rise and forget, in the bright sunlight, the ugly dreams that frightened you so when all was dark. | lewis-carroll | Lewis Carroll | |
| cff49c8 | Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; 'and even if my head would go through,' thought poor Alice, 'it would be of very l.. | Lewis Carroll |
