Author	Quotation
Lewis Carroll	Sentence first, verdict afterwards.
	What I tell you three times is true.
	Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.
	It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.
	"No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first -- verdict afterwards."
	The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday --but never jam today.
	Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.
	Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
	Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?
