乔志高（1912—2008）自画像，作于1998年

“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.”

Lewis Carroll,Through the Looking-glass
