Norton Juster Quote
Do all those words mean the same thing? gasped Milo. Of course. Certainly. Precisely. Exactly. Yes, they replied in order. Well, then, said Milo, not understanding why each one said the same thing in a slightly different way, wouldn’t it be simpler to use just one? It would certainly make more sense. Nonsense. Ridiculous. Fantastic. Absurd. Bosh, they chorused again, and continued. We’re not interested in making sense; it’s not our job, scolded the first. Besides, explained the second, one word is as good as another—so why not use them all?
