Famous quotes containing the words special and/or airs:
“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 hasnt 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 shes trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“O wad some Powr the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
And foolish notion:
What airs in dress an gait wad leae us,
And evn Devotion!”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
