Well, you don’t get to do things that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies. There were none of that for me. I didn’t have friends when I was little. My brothers were my friends.

If I have become my father, then I shall have my father’s blade. Thorn is my dragon, and a thorn he shall be to all enemies. It is only right, then, that I should wield the sword, misery. Misery and Thorn, a fit match. Besides, Zar’roc should have gone to Morzan’s eldest son, not his...

People don’t want the truth when they ask how you’re doing after you lost your brother.

Accomplish your tasks by one step at each time. Don’t cut your coat according to your elder brother’s size. Dream big, but start small; do what you can do at a time.

Not only had my brother disappeared, but–and bear with me here–a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from them on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared.

It must have been fifty seconds before Doc died.Long time.

There is a little boy inside the man who is my brother… Oh, how I hated that little boy. And how I love him too.

So, how can I try to be someone I didn’t really even know?

I wanted only a familiar voice, someone who knew me. Not some earlier, larval version of myself. . .

You can’t fight hatred with hatred and expect anyone to listen to you. You can only try to lessen it with humor, wit, truth and commonsense. If that doesn’t work run like hell, while they throw rocks at you.

Here’s to real heroes, not the ones who carry us off into the sunset but the ones who help us choose our princes.” – commentary on Castles on the Sand

Jake eyed his brother. “I never forget. All data is stored in my memory banks. And one day, candy pig, you will pay.””You ‘re such a geek.””Thesbo.””That’s Jack’s latest insult.”Seth gestured with his wine-glass. “A play on thespian, since Kev’s into that.””Rhymes with lesbo,” Jake explained helpfully while Anna stifled a groan. “It’s a slick...

All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.

Dr. Webb says that losing a sibling is oftentimes much harder for a person than losing any other member of the family. “A sibling represents a person’s past, present, and future,” he says. “Spouses have each other, and even when one eventually dies, they have memories of a time when they existed before that other...

You have become her sadness and live in a different state of mind

When you are a grown up your brothers become your neighbors and your unconditional brotherhood become your conditional neighborhood.

Dear sisters and brothers, I am not against anyone.

Watch over Honoria, will you? See that she doesn’t marry an idiot.

Words don’t have the power to hurt you, unless that person meant more to you than you are willing to confess.

I’m not a big gamer, really. I used to play back in the day – ‘Mario Brothers,’ ‘Mario Kart’ and ‘Mortal Kombat.’

And some people have less star appeal than others, but sometimes they shine far brighter than those with more.

The unknown grayish mystifying forest was benumbed into frost-covered cold, and the tremendous pines towering above the dark marshy soil resembled a gathering of severe mute brothers from a forbidden ancient order worshiping forgotten gods no one had ever heard of outside of the world of secret occult visions.

The world is a wide place where we stumble like children learning to walk. The world is a bright mosaic where we learn like children to see, where our little blurry eyes strive greedily to take in as much light and love and colour and detail as they can.The world is a coaxing whisper when...

Mum used to say we were the same soul split in two and walking around on four legs. It seems unnatural being born together and then dying apart.

If I’m racist, don’t think I would have directed shows like ‘The Parkers’ and ‘The Wayans Brothers’ or worked 41 episodes with Victoria Rowell on ‘Diagnosis: Murder.’

They were more than partners, more than brothers; they were very nearly the same person.

I only get angry at my brothers and at my father.

I was living my own future and my brother’s lost one as well. I represented him here just as he represented me there, in some unguessable other place. His move from life to death might resemble my stepping into the kitchen – into its soft nowhere quality and foggy hum. I breathed the dark air....

Often what people don’t say or leave out, tells the real story.

From “Caleb’s Crossing”–This is an excellent thought about family though it doesn’t apply to me. I am lucky in my brothers.”Now, of all times in my life, did I wish Caleb truly was my brother, rather than that selfish, imperious, weak-willed soul to whom fate had shackled me.

I don’t despise you for what you allowed to happen to me. I despise you because when I was released, you refused to be found and I needed you more than anything in my life. Not to mend my broken bones, Arjuro. I needed my brother to mend my broken spirit.

Nobody can turn you into a slave unless you allow them. Nobody can make you afraid of anything, unless you allow them. Nobody can tell you to do something wrong, unless you allow them. God never created you to be a slave, man did. God never created division or set up any borders between brothers,...

Caleb tossed him an explosive and Japhet lunged to catch it before it hit the ground. He glared but Caleb didn’t notice. Instead, he started to whistle I didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier as he made his way down the left side of the tracks, laying bombs at intervals.

Zed and Sky had stayed behind and were chatting with Will, Sky sitting on Zed’s knee as if nothing was going to get them apart again in a hurry. Victor and Uriel were playing cards at the kitchen table. Trace looked cute in an apron, chopping vegetables with a surgeon’s precision.

We are one, you and I. Brothers in hate, brothers in cunning, brothers in the spirit of vengeance.

And yet here he was, looking at Jem Carstairs, a boy so fragile-looking that he appeared to be made out of glass, with the hardness of his expression slowly dissolving into tentative uncertainty. “You are not really dying,” he said, the oddest tone to his voice, “are you?”Jem nodded. “So they tell me.””I am sorry,”...

Daniel first kisses his brother in a town where no-one knows them, a no-account place that’s barely even a town, just some buildings clustered around the highway: a smoky bar, an empty motel, a convenience store that only sells candy and condoms and beer. The nearest gas station is twenty miles away. The nearest bus...

How are you feeling, man?” he asks me.”Great,” I tell him, and it is purely the truth. Doves clatter up out of a bare tree and turn at the same instant, transforming themselves from steel to silver in the snow-blown light. I know at that moment that the drug is working. Everything before me has...

It’s a commonly expressed and rather nice, romantic notion that we are all “sisters” and “brothers.”Let’s be real. Fact is, we might be better served to accept that we are all siblings.Siblings fight, pull each other’s hair, steal stuff, and accuse each other indiscriminately.But siblings also know the undeniable fact that they are the same...

Born in the 90s and raised in a deserted rural area by a single mother with 2 brothers, a sister and a couple of cousins – you know; a normal Zulu family of the 21st century.

Coming back last time to the house she grew up in, Isabel had been reminded of the darkness that had descended with her brothers’ deaths, how loss had leaked all over her mother’s life like a stain. As a fourteen-year-old, Isabel had searched the dictionary. She knew that if a wife lost a husband, there...

Oliver has stated many times his dislike of hearing advice from his younger sister, so it is his own fault if he has not got sense enough to see which way the wind is blowing.

Because, my thick-headedbrother, if you want information about human men then you go to theone place all human men come to eventually.

Dear Sawyer and Quin, If you ever read this and I’m gone I want you to know something that has been weighing on me. I watch you two play and it can be so sad sometimes. You two have been best friends since Sawyer’s birth. Always inseparable. It’s been adorable , but comes with its...

Chip, I know you don’t understand this, but I’d take it as a personal favor if you’d stop trying to marry your mother off to my brothers.

A gunshot rang out, blasting a hole in the door. A crossbow quarrel zinged through the hole and stuck quivering into the opposite wall. Seth heard the rocking horse clattering down the staircase, the twang of bowstrings, and the overlapping beat of several other projectiles thudding against the door. “That was awesome,” Seth told Kendra.”You’re...

Big sisters and brothers… I am telling you, it never changes.

He lay in bed staring upward into the darkness. On the bunk above him, he could hear Peter turning and tossing restlessly. Then Peter slid off the bunk and walked out of the room. Ender heard the hushing sound of the toilet clearing; then Peter stood silhouetted in the doorway. He thinks I’m asleep. He’s...

Merrill Krause – “My brothers have scared off just about any fellow who showed interest in getting to know me.”Granny Lassiter – “Well, if a man can’t stand up to those brothers of yours, you needn’t even consider him. A man ought to be able to hold his own with his wife’s family.
