Lewis Carroll
Words mean more than we mean to express when we use them: so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer meant.
Lewis Carroll
What do you suppose is the use of a child without any meaning? Even a joke should have some meaning-- and a child's more imporant than a joke, I hope. You couldn't deny that, even if you tried with both hands.
Lewis Carroll
