Famous quotes containing the words who, food and/or america:
“A new talker will often call her caregiver “mommy,” which makes parents worry that the child is confused about who is who. She isn’t. This is a case of limited vocabulary rather than mixed-up identities. When a child has only one word for the female person who takes care of her, calling both of them “mommy” is understandable.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“A few pieces of fat pine were a great treasure. It is interesting to remember how much of this food for fire is still concealed in the bowels of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In America and Europe the nomadism is of trade and curiosity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
