Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or brother:
“But there are no fractions, the world is an integer
Like us, and like us it can neither stand wholly apart nor disappear.
When one is young it seems like a very strange and safe place,
But now that I have changed it feels merely odd, cold
And full of interest.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“We came into the world like brother and brother;
And now let’s go hand in hand, not one before another.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
