Er zijn vele wegen,
Maar de juiste weg
Is de weg ertegen;
Niet de weg eronder,

Dat is pluimstrijkerij
Maar de weg ertegen,
Tegen alle wegen in,
En dat is van de wijsheid
Nog maar het begin.

"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."
