Daughters, Girls & Sisters
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
As is the mother, so is her daughter. Ezekiel 16:44
She was good as she was fair, None, none on earth above her
As pure in thought as angels are, To know her was to love her. Samuel Rogers
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climbs and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
-Lord Byron-

One of life's unsolved mysteries is what young girls giggle about? Author Unknown
Curly locks, Curly locks,
Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes
Nor yet feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries,
Sugar and Cream
-Nursery Rhyme-

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

How do people make it through life without a sister? Sara Corpening
There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me. Mary Montagu
Is solace anywhere more comforting than in the arms of a sister. Alice Walker
Sisterly love is, of all sentiments, the most abstract. Nature does not grant it any functions. Ugo Betti

The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend. Cali Rae Turner
An older sister helps one remain half child, half woman. Author Unknown
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. Pam Brown
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

You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories. Deborah Moggach
Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. Pam Brown

One of the best things about being an adult is the realization that you can share with your sister and still have plenty for yourself. Betsy Cohen

Deborah Moggach
In thee my soul shall own combined the sister and the friend. Catherine Killigrew
