Quote by Robert Frost

“A name with meaning could bring up a child, Taking the child out of the parents' hands. Better a meaningless name, I should say, As leaving more to nature and happy chance. Name children some names and see what you do.”

They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
