    “If they be two, they are two so
    As stiff twin compasses are two;
    Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
    To move, but doth if th’ other do.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “There are enough fagots and waste wood of all kinds in the forests of most of our towns to support many fires, but which at present warm none, and, some think, hinder the growth of the young wood.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Whether changes in the sibling relationship during adolescence create long-term rifts that spill over into adulthood depends upon the ability of brothers and sisters to constantly redefine their connection. Siblings either learn to accept one another as independent individuals with their own sets of values and behaviors or cling to the shadow of the brother and sister they once knew.”
    —Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)

    “What care though rival cities soar
    Along the stormy coast,
    Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
    If Boston knew the most!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
