Sisters

Famous quotes containing the word sisters:

    “Good my lord,
    You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
    Return those duties back as are right fit,
    Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
    Why have my sisters husbands if they say
    They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
    That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
    Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
    Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
    To love my father all.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Just because we’re sisters under the skin doesn’t mean we’ve got much in common.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “He’s made a harp of her breast-bane,
    Whose sound wad melt a heart of stane.

    He’s ta’en three locks o’ her yellow hair,
    And wi’ them strung his harp sae rare.”
    —Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 41–44)
