Famous quotes containing the word sisters:
“‘Tis not Apollo can, or those thrice three
Castalian sisters sing, if wanting thee.
Horace, Anacreon both had lost their fame.
Had’st thou not filled them with thy fire and flame.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“The youngest stood upon a stane,
The eldest cam and push’d her in.”
—Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 15–16)
“The quickness with which all the “stuff” from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other’s lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
