evidence: Not a Carroll quote! It’s a (slight mis-) quote from Tolkien, part of a lovely poem which i used to write over and over in elementary school for cursive practice. [...] This is a curious one— mostly attributed to Carroll, though one source claimed it was said by Levi Strauss. I’ve seen it cited as coming out of either Alice book, which it does not, but also as being from his letters. I don’t recognize it from any of them I’ve read, and it doesn’t appear in any of the ones searchable on the Gutenberg Project, but that doesn’t mean it’s definitely not his. So far, this one is a mystery! I’ll keep trying to root out the source, though.... [...] A quote from the Tim Burton movie, and not something Carroll ever wrote!
