Cruel Sister

Famous quotes containing the words cruel and/or sister:

    Come away, come away, death,
    And in sad cypress let me be laid.
    Fly away, fly away, breath,
    I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.
    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
