A Tribute To Sisters

"She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities.  She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway.  She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.  She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink.  Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child. " 

-Barbara Alpert

"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 sister smiles when one tells one's stories - for she knows where the decoration has been added.  "

-Chris Montaigne

"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."

-Linda Sunshine

 "The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble."

-Clara Ortega

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

-Mary Montagu

"Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart - oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape - of your sister. "

-Katherine Mansfield
