Lewis Carroll Zitate

seite 3

„Ich bin nicht seltsam, verrückt oder wahnsinnig, meine Realität unterscheidet sich nur von deiner.“

„Eines der tiefen Geheimnisse des Lebens ist, dass alles, was das Tun wirklich wert ist, das ist, was wir für andere tun.“

„Ich weiß, wer ich war, als ich heute morgen aufstand, aber ich glaube, daß ich mich seitdem mehrfach verwandelt habe.“

„Aber ich mag nicht unter verrückte Leuten gehen", bemerkte Alice.
"Oh, dagegen kann man nichts machen", sagte die Katze; "wir sind hier alle verrückt. Ich bin verrückt. Du bist verrückt."
"Woher weißt du denn, dass ich verrückt bin?", fragte Alice.
"Du musst es sein", sagte die Katze, "sonst wärst du nicht hierhergekommen.“

„Bitte sage mir, welchen Weg ich gehen soll.
Das hängt davon ab, wohin du willst.“

„[.. ] und dann die vier Abtheilungen vom Rechnen: Zusehen, Abziehen, Vervielfraßen und Stehlen.“

„Wenn sich jeder um seine eigenen Angelegenheiten kümmern würde, würde sich die Welt viel schneller bewegen als sie es bislang tut.“

„Tapfere Männer sind wie Wirbeltiere: Außen weich, aber innen mit einem harten Kern.“

„Nein, nein. Die Abenteuer zuerst, Erklärungen nehmen solch eine schreckliche Zeit in Anspruch.“

„Beginnen Sie am Anfang, sagte der König sehr ernst, und fahren Sie fort, bis Sie zum Ende kommen: dann hören Sie auf.“

„Ich glaube nicht… Dann solltest du nicht reden, sagte der Hutmacher.“

„Alles ist lustig, wenn man darüber lachen kann.“

“If you set to work to believe everything, you will tire out the believing-muscles of your mind, and then you'll be so weak you won't be able to believe the simplest true things.”

“Little Alice fell
d
o
w
n
the hOle,
bumped her head
and bruised her soul”

“No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.”

“The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday—but never jam.”
“Itcome sometimes to ‘jam to-day,’” Alice objected.
“No, it ca’n’t,” said the Queen. “It’s jam everyday: to-day isn’t anyday, you know”

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

“It's always tea-time.”

“We're all mad here. Im mad. You're mad”

“If you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?”

“Speak English!' said the Eaglet. 'I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and I don't believe you do either!”

“Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.”

“Look after the senses and the sounds will look after themselves”

“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!”

“Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court.”

“Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.”

“Life, what is it but a dream?”

“That's the reason they're called lessons," the Gryphon remarked: "because they lessen from day to day.”

“It was much pleasanter at home," thought poor Alice, "when one wasn't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn't gone down the rabbit-hole--and yet--and yet--…”

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

“How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly he spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!”

“I wish I hadn't cried so much!” said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out.
I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears!”

“Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to…”

“Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).”

“We are but older children, dear,
Who fret to find our bedtime near.”

“I have seen so many extraordinary things, nothing seems extraordinary any more”

“You're thinking about something, and it makes you forget to talk.”

“For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.”

“People who don't think shouldn't talk.”

“If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much!”

“Speak roughly to your little boy
and beat him when he sneezes!
he only does it to annoy,
because he knows it teases!”
