Meaning of Words

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

«The question is,» said Alice, «whether you can make words mean so many different things.»

«The question is,» said Humpty Dumpty, «which is to be master - that's all.»
