One of my favorite authors is Lewis Carroll and I love this quote I found by him. Hope you enjoy! Below I have given a brief bio of him and also am image of one of the pictures that can be seen from the book Alice in Wonderland.
When I use a word…it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less….The question is…which is to be master — that’s all.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ( 27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll , was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems “The Hunting of the Snark” and “Jabberwocky”, all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand.

Love Lewis Carroll – we had to learn all of The Jabberwocky by heart in highschool – haha – quite a challenge when there are so many nonsense words
‘`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!” …etc, etc,
