Adventures in Wonderland and
Through the Looking-Glass
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 what seemed to be a very deep well.
(Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, page
13)
Tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper
label, with the words “DRINK ME” beautifully printed on it in large
letters.
(Alice, page 17)
“Shall I never get any older than I am
now? That’ll be a comfort, one way—never to be an old woman—but
then—always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn’t like
that !”
(Alice, page 45)
The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other
for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah
out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy
voice.
(Alice, page 55)
“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.
(Alice, page 76)
The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after
glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, began screaming “Off
with her head!” (Alice, page 93)
“Every thing’s got a moral, if only you can find
it.”
(Alice, page 103)
The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on
their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about
them—all sorts of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole
pack of cards. (Alice, page 125)
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

“It’s a poor sort of memory that only works
backwards.”
(Looking-Glass, page 204)
“They gave it me—for an un-birthday
present.”
(Looking-Glass, page 218)
“You don’t know how to manage Looking-glass
cakes,” the Unicorn remarked. “Hand it round first, and cut it
afterwards.”
(Looking-Glass, page 235)
“Then fill up the glasses with treacle and
ink,
Or anything else that is pleasant to drink;
Mix sand with the cider, and wool with the wine—
And welcome Queen Alice with ninety-times-nine!”
