Famous quotes containing the word carroll:

    In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail—not the tail that wags the dog.
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
