Sisters

An older sister helps one remain half child, half woman. – Author Unknown

An older sister is a friend and defender — a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. – Pam Brown

There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you. – Author Unknown

Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk. – Susan Scarf Merrell

I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. – Maya Angelou

A sibling may be the keeper of one’s identity, the only person with the keys to one’s unfettered, more fundamental self. – Marian Sandmaier

Our roots say we’re sisters, our hearts say we’re friends. – Author Unknown

Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago — the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider…. It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. – Jane Mersky Leder

Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing, and no matter what we choose to make of this, we are cast in relation to them our whole lives long. – Susan Scarf Merrell

Sibling relationships — and 80 percent of Americans have at least one — outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust. – Erica E. Goode, “The Secret World of Siblings,” U.S. News & Worl

Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring — quite often the hard way. – Pamela Dugdale

Sisters share the scent and smells — the feel of a common childhood. – Pam Brown

A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams. – Author Unknown

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. – Pam Brown

Between sisters, often, the child’s cry never dies down. Never leave me, it says; do not abandon me. – Louise Bernikow

It was nice growing up with someone like you — someone to lean on, someone to count on… someone to tell on! – Author Unknown

Sisterhood is powerful. – Robin Morgan

Sisters don’t need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks — expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs — that can undermine any tale you’re telling. – Pam Brown

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

We know one another’s faults, virtues, catastrophes, mortifications, triumphs, rivalries, desires, and how long we can each hang by our hands to a bar. We have been banded together under pack codes and tribal laws. – Rose Macaulay
