“I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all.”
― Lewis Carroll

“Sleep is cousin to death, Vasya. And both are mine.”
