‘Oh, snow and rain are not enough!

Burn an onion. Burn a chair.
Burn a whisker from your chin.
And burn a long sour lizard skin….’

from The Lorax / by Dr. Seuss

For my sister, whose choice of quote is perfect for Back-To-School season, from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
from The Walrus and The Carpenter / by Lewis Carroll

‘To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.’
