Dr. Kakofonous A. Dischord Quotes in The Phantom Tollbooth

“NEVER!” she cried. “They just use them to make horrible noises which are ugly to see and worse to hear. I leave all that to Dr. Dischord and that awful, awful DYNNE.”

“That may be true,” she replied stubbornly, “but if they won’t make the sounds that I like, they won’t make any.”
