Alice in Wonderland Book by Lewis Carroll

A Little About Alice in Wonderland Quotes

Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll almost 150 years ago in 1865. The actual name of the classic book is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The story of the little girl named Alice who fell down the rabbit hole has become a literature classic and is discovered and loved by new kids every year. Many kids never outgrow Alice in Wonderland.

I am one of those adults that admits to still being a fan of Alice in Wonderland. I am such a fan that I have collected my favorite Alice in Wonderland quotes. I am now sharing my quotes with you.

Most of the quotes are from the Lewis Carroll book, but some of the Alice in Wonderland quotes are from the Disney movie. I have noted when I know if one is from the movie. Since this is an old list of mine, I'm not sure about all of them. If you want to add any new, interesting Alice in Wonderland quotes, let me know in the comments section below.

"But I didn't think-" (Alice)

"That's just it. If you don't think, then you shouldn't talk. " (March Hare movie quote)

Alice in Wonderland Quotes From the Mad Hatter

"I've had nothing yet, so I can't take more." (Alice)

Alice in Wonderland Queen

Alice in Wonderland Quotes From the Queen and King

“There is no use trying; one can't believe impossible things." (Alice)

Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat

Alice in Wonderland Quotes From the Cheshire Cat

"You know, we could make her really angry! Shall we try?"

"Oh, but it's loads of fun!" (Alice in Wonderland movie quote)

“Which road do I take?" (Alice)

"Where do you want to go?"

Alice in Wonderland Quotes From Alice

"Well, I've often seen a cat without a grin, but a grin without a cat? It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!"

"Curiouser and curiouser!"

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”

Isn't it amazing how a children's story still affects so many adults?

John, that is also one of my favorite Alice in Wonderland quotes of all time.

Lemmings, uh, I'm not sure. I'll have to check into it. I sure don't remember lemmings, but I'm no expert.

What an excellent collection of Alice quotes you have put together. I have been planning for a while to get the above quote tattooed on my side.

Which road do I take?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know," Alice answered.

Ingenious. Loveeee Lewis Carroll.
