Brothers and Sisters

To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.  

- Clara Ortega

A sibling may be the keeper of one's identity, the only person with the keys 

to one's unfettered, more fundamental self. 

- Marian Sandmaier

Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago - 

the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider.... It doesn't seem to matter how much 

time has elapsed or how far we've traveled. 

- Jane Mersky Leder

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. 

- Marc Brown

Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation 

and kindness and caring, quite often the hard way. 

- Pamela Dugdale

It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down 

and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea. 

- Dylan Thomas
