Sisters
- The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend.--Cali Rae Turner
- Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.--Charles Schulz (in "Peanuts" 1952)
- Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to become.--Elizabeth Fishel
- The desire to be and have a sister is a primitive and profound one that may have everything or nothing to do with the family a woman is born to. It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams.--Elizabeth Fishel
- For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.--Christina Rosetti (Goblin Market)
- If sisters were free to express how they really feel, parents would hear this: "Give me all the attention and all the toys and send Rebecca to live with Grandma."--Linda Sunshine ("Mom Loves me Best" (And Other Lies You Told Your Sister))
- If you don't understand how a woman could both lover her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child.--Linda Sunshine
- The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble.--Clara Ortega
- One of the best things about being an adult is the realization that you can share with your sister and still have plenty for yourself.--Betsy Cohen
- A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.--Isadora James
- A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.--Marion C. Garretty
- A sister travels with you always... She is only a whisper or a thought or a prayer away... She moves through our lives with us... Sometimes we hear some of her words slipping out of our own mouths.--Roxie Kelley (Sisters as Friends, Friends as Sisters)
- Sisters are connected throughout their lives by a special bond--whether they try to ignore it or not. For better or for worse, sisters remain sisters, until death do them part.--Brigid McConville (in Sisters: Love and Conflict Within The Lifelong Bond)
- Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.--Unknown
- There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me.--Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
- To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.--Clara Ortega
- We shared. Parents. Home. Pets. Celebrations. Catastrophes. Secrets. And the threads of our experience became so interwoven that we are linked. I can never be utterly lonely, knowing you share the planet.--Pam Brown
- You can kid the world. But not your sister.--Charlotte Gray
- Your sister is the only creature on earth who shares your heritage, history, environment, DNA, bone structure, and contempt for stupid Aunt Gertie.--Linda Sunshine ("Mom Loves me Best" (And Other Lies You Told Your Sister))
