Quotes for sisters

​

"Anyone who has sisters knows you share many things: frame of reference, in-jokes, adolescent contempt for parents, deep and sometimes jealous love of those same parents. Sisters give you a model, a mold, for many of life's relationships."

"Sometimes I dreamed I was in the womb with my sisters. Of course, I'm sure I invented all the details rather than relying on any sort of memory. But when I woke, I missed the jousting of elbows, the beating of two other hearts. I was forever a puppy on my first night away from the litter, howling for that collective warmth. When we were born, we were slow to warm on our own, slow, but it was not impossible that we'd find our distinct internal suns."
