Alice in Wonderland is probably the most well-known work of Victorian literature. And, knowing the Victorians as being rapt for the morbs and the weirds, it is no wonder that this book is as fantastical and as unbelievably curious as the era itself. A true sign of the times! Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel shaped and influenced our own pop culture in many, many ways, and it is one of the very few books that hasn’t gone out of print since the day it was first published. And while most of the stuff the anthropomorphic creatures do and say in this book is understandable only if you are a child or under some mind-altering influence, some of the interesting quotes are worth taking note of. Wanna delve deeper into the fantastical world of Alice? Well then, you’ve come to precisely the right place, for this is an article dedicated entirely to Alice in Wonderland quotes!
Some of these famous quotes are taken entirely out of context, which might seem like a bad idea at first, but an ‘Off with their heads!’ can, in fact, make perfect sense in your daily vocabulary.

And, the deeper you go into these interesting quotes, the ‘Curiouser and curiouser’ it gets!
