Typical Bread

Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or bread:

    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)

    Our checks are pale. Our wallets are invalids.
    Past due, past due, is what our bills are saying
    and yet we kiss in every corner, scuffing the dust
    and the cat. Love rises like bread as we go bust.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
