Special Mention

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or mention:

“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)

“Oh! no! we never mention her,
Her name is never heard;
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.”
—Thomas Bayly (1797–1839)
