Dorothy Allison Quotes

With brothers you become friends. Some you hang out with more than others. You talk to one about the other a little more. You get mad at them. Then, you love them. Then, you apologize. You have to apologize whether you want to or not. You have to. That's your brother.

Parents die, daughters grow up and marry out, but sisters are for life.

And Big Night, I think by the end the brothers find that balance, when they touch each other on the shoulder over breakfast and it's understood that what should never have driven them apart almost drove them apart. I think that's a true moment.

I think it is important to remember that there are so many different ways to be sisters.

I wouldn't say that it's hard for sisters to treat each other with respect. Many do.

The relationships I've had with my wife and children are what mean the most to me.

My brother's my best friend, without a doubt. Me and my big sister get along so well. She moved to East London, though, so points off, but she's wicked. And then my little sister is a little genius. She's super talented and such a great person, always been far more mature and cool than me.

I am very fortunate that I have such close relationships with both of my daughters.

I take advice from both my sisters all the time. We try to help each other as much as we can without getting in the catty sister fight.

Be nice to your siblings. They are your link to the past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Sisters are made by living everyday with each other and wearing each other down until the rough spots are smooth.
