Famous quotes containing the words laura and/or wade:
“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)
“I am in blood
Stepped in so far, that should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
