Sister

Famous quotes containing the word sister:

    I should fear the infinite power and inflexible justice of the almighty mortal hardly as yet apotheosized, so wholly masculine, with no sister Juno, no Apollo, no Venus, nor Minerva, to intercede for me, thumoi phileousa te, kedomene te.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is natural not to care about a sister certainly not when she is four years older and grinds her teeth at night.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    For she has made me the laily worm
    That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
    An’ my sister Masery she’s made
    The machrel of the sea.
    —Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)
