Summary

This quote from Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter" exemplifies the whimsical and nonsensical nature of Carroll's writing. The Walrus's proclamation signals a shift to engage in a conversation about various absurd and unrelated topics. It portrays the idea of discussing things that may seem inconsequential or impossible in a light-hearted and playful manner. The mention of shoes, ships, sealing-wax, cabbages, and kings, along with the exaggeration of the sea boiling hot and pigs potentially having wings, all contribute to the fantastical and imaginative world created by Carroll.

When you come in to court as a plaintiff or as a defendant, it is terribly important that you look up at the bench and feel that that person represents you and will understand you, that that person is reflective of our community and of our society.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
