Quote 40 of 55

From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll

"... tell me your name and your business."
"My _name_ is Alice, but---"
"It's a stupid name enough!" Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently.
"What does it mean?"
"_Must_ a name mean something?" Alice asked doubtfully.
"Of course it must," Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh: "_my_ name
means the shape I am---and a good handsome shape it is, too.  With a
name like yours, you might be any shape, almost."
		-- Through the Looking-Glass
		   Chapter vi
