Famous quotes containing the words laura and/or howard:

    The books may say that nine-month-olds crawl, say their first words, and are afraid of strangers. Your exuberantly concrete and special nine-month-old hasn’t read them. She may be walking already, not saying a word and smiling gleefully at every stranger she sees. . . . You can support her best by helping her learn what she’s trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.
    —Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)

    She does not realize that the only difference between us is that she is on one stage and I on another. I feel that I am acting just as much as she is.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
