“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
“I don’t much care where –”
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Happy Birthday to one of our favorite writers: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.  Dodgson was born on January 27, 1832 in the little parsonage of Daresbury in Cheshire near the towns of Warrington and Runcorn.  His novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass are those rare books that you can read dozens of times and discover something new each time.

“When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don’t state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.”

—Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)
