Sister Quotes

“My sisters treated me like a living doll for years, carrying me around so much that I didn’t bother learning to walk until I was almost two.”
― Karen M. McManus, One of Us Is Next

“Tell Anne..." I broke off. There was too much to send in one message. There were long years of rivalry and then a forced unity and always and ever, underpinning our love for each other, our sense that the other must be bested. How could I send her one word which would acknowledge all of that, and yet tell her that I loved her still, that I was glad I had been her sister, even though I knew she had brought herself to this point and taken George here too? That, though I would never forgive her for what she had done to us all, at the same time, I totally and wholly understood?

"Tell her what?" Catherine hovered, waiting to be released.

"Tell her that I think of her," I said simply. "All the time. Every day. The same as always.”
― Philippa Gregory, The Other Boleyn Girl

“This moment of recognition reflected back at me in her face. It's not even something I can see, but something I feel. It's not my mom and my dad or my brothers. It's me. My own confusion, my own fear. She could look like a stranger to me, and I'd still feel it as plainly.”
― Emma Lord, You Have a Match

― Krystal Sutherland, House of Hollow

“You wanted someone to pet you, and pamper you, and-and let you be fragile for a while! And i didn't! I was done being fragile. I wanted to have an adventure, I wanted to learn things and do things and not just be someone's precious trinket! Neither of us had any choices, Jill we never got to be sure of anything! So i left you, because if I didn't choose to go, we were going to keep not choosing anything. I'm sorry. I failed to be your sister. I didn't realize you needed me. But that doesn't make it right for you to take whatever you want and act like no one else matters. People matter. I matter”
― Seanan McGuire

“Alex was scared beyond belief how did this guy know about his home planet or that he absorbed gamma radiation to remain healthy and get his abilities? Alex was tired of talking and he was now getting angry, this guy would not like him angry. The rage still came, and Alex's eyes began to glow.

He could no longer hear Tasha in his head at that instance, and he just wanted this noob to go away. He raised his right hand and pointed his ring at the older man in front of him and that was when he heard the old man mutter something. Alex could not believe what he was hearing.

“To Alexander, my son, you are our brightest star. Always remember the only future you are ever guaranteed is the one you make for yourself. Willpower, Wisdom and intelligence are the keys—Love Dad”

These words echoed in his mind and these words were only known to him, Tasha, Wanda and his father even by Tasha's recollections. Alex's eyes turned back to the blue green beauties that Patrick and Jessica Wayne loved so well. They also welled up with tears. Tasha had lied to him.”

“Once A Sister by Stewart Stafford

In a mirror, admirably still call yourself sister?
Of festering, viperine plot and scaling threat,
Cast your brother out as a street mongrel,
Then counted coins from his dwelling's sale.

If this is a blood relative, yours is now poison,
And tears his, for none shall believe his truth,
That family acted so cruelly in his innocence,
What made his loved ones mortal enemies?

No apology will ever pass those lips, not one,
Explanations merely justify the unforgivable,
Sober fact imparts the brazen cuckoo nests,
With ignominy's profits in bricks and mortar.

“Worth More Than A Precious Jewel

What a brilliant woman!
She thinks beyond the now
Yet, she lives in the present
Will not let her past define her
Never scared to face the future
She is very influential
And knows the power of self-love
Takes pride in her life
Such a humble Soul
She lets nothing bring her down
Even after a fall, she stands back up
Where there seems to be no way
Her resilience keeps the enemy at bay
The universe celebrates her bravery
As she walks from victory to victory
A special human with a passion for humanity
She dispels any myth of inferiority
Sees herself as a priority
Recognizes her own reality
She does what she can do best
Always has it covered by prayer
A sister, a friend, a Mother
A daughter, a neighbour, or a leader
Who remains a great treasure!
Because she is worth more than a precious jewel”
