Famous quotes containing the words laura and/or wilder:

    “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)

    “Helen: You’ve got talent and ambition.
    Don: Talent? Ambition? That’s dead long ago. That’s drowned. That’s drifting around with a bloated belly on a lake of alcohol.”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
