Before you’ve been to school?

So absolute a fool.

And then you chop it small;
Then mix the bits, and sort them out
Just as they chance to fall:
The order of the phrases makes
No difference at all.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
