Making Words Work.

"That's a great deal to make one word mean," Alice said in a thoughtful tone.
"When I make a word do a lot of work like that," said Humpty Dumpty, "I always pay it extra."

~ Alice and Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass

Longing for the Sea.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

~Antoine St. Exupery
