Lewis Carroll Quote

'There's glory for you!' 'I don't know what you mean by glory,' Alice said. 'I meant, there's a nice knock-down argument for you! ' 'But glory doesn't mean a nice knock-down argument,' Alice objected. '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.'
