Famous quotes containing the words libel and/or case:
“Middle-aged adolescents are a libel on the real thing.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
