Sisters

• One's sister is a part of one's essential self, an eternal presence of one's heart and soul and memory. —Susan Cahill
• To have a loving relationship with a sister is not simply to have a buddy or confidante—it is to have a soul mate for life. —Victoria Secunda
• Our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to become. —Elizabeth Fishel
• Together we look like our mother. Her same eyes, her same mouth, open in surprise to see, at last, her long-cherished wish. —Amy Tan
• No one knows better than a sister how we grew up, and who our friends, teachers, and favorite toys were. No one knows better than she. —Dale V. Atkins
• You can't think how I depend on you, and when you're not there the colour goes out of my life... —Virginia Woolf
• Sisters examine each other so they can have a map for how they should behave. —Michael D. Kahn
• A sibling may be the sole keeper of one's core identity, the only person with the keys to one's unfettered, more fundamental self. —Marian Sandmaier
• For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands. —Christina Rossetti
• Loving a sister is an unconditional, narcissistic, and complicated devotion that approximates a mother's love...sisters are inescapably connected, shaped by the same two parents, the same trove of memory and experience. —Mary Bruno
• We are sisters. We will always be sisters. Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song. —Nancy Kelton
