When I come upon anything-- in Logic or in any other hard subject--
that entirely puzzles me, I find it a capital plan to talk it over,
aloud, even when I am all alone. One can explain things so clearly
to one's self! And then, you know, one is so patient with one's self:
one never gets irritated at one's own stupidity!
-- Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832-98),
-- English writer, mathematician
