Typical Bread

Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or bread:

    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 who take here
    my bread and life
    and sweep the temple,
    still I swear
    that I would save you,
    birds or spirits.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
