Sisters

Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply... ~Jane Austen, Mansfield Park, 1814



A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double. ~Toni Morrison


Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there. ~Amy Li


What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it? ~Jenny DeVries


Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship. ~Margaret Mead


There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me. ~Mary Montagu


I know some sisters who only see each other on Mother's Day and some who will never speak again. But most are like my sister and me... linked by volatile love, best friends who make other best friends ever so slightly less best. ~Patricia Volk

Happy Birthday to my beautiful and most wonderful sister, Rachel!
