Famous quotes containing the words big and/or sister:
“Dr. Floyd, I hope you don’t think I’m being too inquisitive but perhaps you can clear up the great big mystery about what has been going on up there.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun,
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
