Famous quotes containing the words laura and/or riding:
“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)
“To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth ... but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.”
—Laura Riding (1901–1991)
