Lewis Caroll and Humpty Dumpty

Just a quickie. From time to time we're going to throw in 'quotes we like'. Just a small snatch of text from a book or a line in a poem that plays with words in a way we enjoy. I thought we'd start off with a quick quote from Lewis Carroll, who seemed to have a great deal of fun twisting and playing with words. In fact, I'm sure we'll come across him again as we bloggificate.

This particular quote is a line from Through the Looking Glass.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

For some reason it seems like a good quote to start off our 'Quotable Quotes' with :)
