Case Neck

Famous quotes containing the words case and/or neck:

“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)

“The wisdom of history, how she takes
Each epoch by the neck and, growling, shakes
It like a rat while she faintly mews.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
