Come back! the Caterpillar called after her. I've something important to say. This sounded promising, certainly. Alice turned and came back again. Keep your temper, said the Caterpillar.

I dare say you never even spoke to Time! Perhaps not, Alice cautiously replied but I know I have to beat time when I listen to music. Ah! That accounts for it, said the Hatter. He won't stand a beating. Now, if only you kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you like with the clock.

Better say nothing at all. Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!
Lewis Carroll

If there's no meaning in it, said the King, that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know, he went on [...] I seem to see some meaning in them, after all.
Lewis Carroll
Image
Then you should say what you mean, the March Hare went on. I do, Alice hastily replied at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know. Not the same thing a bit! said the Hatter. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see!

But how can you talk with a person if they always say the same thing?
