Famous quotes related to brothers and sisters:
“When we choose to be parents, we accept another human being as part of ourselves, and a large part of our emotional selves will stay with that person as long as we live. From that time on, there will be another person on this earth whose orbit around us will affect us as surely as the moon affects the tides, and affect us in some ways more deeply than anyone else can. Our children are extensions of ourselves in ways our parents are not, nor our brothers and sisters, nor our spouses.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“Brothers and sisters rocking, a dread beat pulsing fire, burning.”
—Linton Kwesi Johnson (b. 1952)
“When you gonna get married, Marty? You should be ashamed of yourself. All your brothers and sisters, younger than you, they get married and got the children. I meet your mother in the produce store. She say to me ‘Eh, you know a nice girl for my boy Marty?’ What’s the matter with you? That’s no way!”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
