“We might have had our biological families, but this was our extended family. Everyone was a brother or a sister. She was our mother.”
Cathy Poole
“I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.”
Maya Angelou
“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”

“After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers”
Astrid Alauda
“We always say 'I would kill for my family' or 'I would die for my family' but would you really? I mean, when really put in that situation, would you really give up your life? Do you really love something or someone that much?”
Johnny Depp
“I'm the mother of 5. When God said, 'Multiply and replenish the earth' I thought he meant me personally!”

“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.”
