Brother

Famous quotes containing the word brother:

    A dilettantism in nature is barren and unworthy. A fop of fields is no better than his brother on Broadway.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “And yonder stands my brother Hugh,
    But by him my William, sweet and true.”
    Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 51–52)

    A gorgeous example of denial is the story about the little girl who was notified that a baby brother or sister was on the way. She listened in thoughtful silence, then raised her gaze from her mother’s belly to her eyes and said, “Yes, but who will be the new baby’s mommy?”
    Judith Viorst (20th century)
