On Language, by Lewis Carroll

"Alice thought to herself, 'Then there's no use in speaking.' The voices didn't join in this time, as she hadn't spoken, but to her great surprise, they all thought in chorus (I hope you understand what thinking in chorus means--for I must confess that I don't), 'Better say nothing at all. Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!" 
 Lewis Carroll (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass)
