Sisterly Love Quotes

“She’s beautiful to look at, she’s new, she’s clean, and perfectly cut. But then you get up and look closely and see that she’s not real. She’s a fake. She doesn't glimmer like a natural diamond or hold the beauty and unbreakable strength of a real diamond. She’s just a manufactured piece of glass. Not the real deal. And sooner or later, that pig headed owner is gonna realize that fake diamonds can never pass for the real ones, no matter how much you wish they would.”
― Bink Cummings, The Diary of Bink Cummings: Vol 2

“Suddenly I wanted to stay. For maybe the first time in my life, I didn't want to abandon an uncomfortable feeling. I wanted to give her motherly love in the way she had tried to give me motherly love. Hers had always been from a distance, but it was there. And I wanted to give her motherly love in the way that she couldn't give me motherly love: by staying, even when it was uncomfortable. Wasn't it time that I showed up for her?
I also wanted to give her love in the sisterly way I had given Claire and Diana love. The group had taught me how to do that, imperfectly, but I knew what it was now. You just sat there with someone and listened. That was all you had to do.”
― Melissa Broder, The Pisces

“It wasn't that Elain was cruel. She wasn't like Nesta, who had been born with a sneer on her face. Elain sometimes just... didn't grasp things. It wasn't meanness that kept her from offering to help; it simply never occurred to her that she might be capable of getting her hands dirty. I'd never been able to decide whether she actually didn't understand that we were truly poor or if she just refused to accept it. It still hadn't stopped me buying her seeds for the flower garden she tended in the milder months, whenever I could afford it.

And it hadn't stopped her from buying me three small tins of paint- red, yellow, and blue- during that same summer I'd had enough to buy the ash arrow. It was the only gift she'd ever given me, and out house still bore the marks of it, even if the paint was now fading and chipped: little vines and flowers along the windows and thresholds and edges of things, tiny curls of flame on the stones bordering the hearth. And spare minute I'd had that bountiful summer, I used to bedeck out house in colour, sometimes hiding clever decorations inside drawers, behind the threadbare curtains, underneath the chairs and table.

We hadn't had a summer that easy since.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“I did my first nude scene--and my second and third--maybe my fourth all in one movie, thanks to Allison. Allison made me feel like I was a beautiful woman when I did those love scenes. When a man makes you feel beautiful, that's one thing. But when a woman makes you feel beautiful, she's talking about your insides, too.”
― Illeana Douglas

“I'm proud of her; she's proud of me. There is no competition animosity, envy, or jealousy. We're just secure, confident women doing our thing while supporting each other. I call that a SiSTARship and it is the essence of a Smart Woman Achieving Greatness. (SWAG)”
― Sabrina Newby

“I look down at my sisters, hurrying through the snow. My sisters, who despite everything, came for me.”
― Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

“My sister has always compelled to love unlovable creatures... the strays, the misfits. Once she loves someone, no matter how many times they betray or disappoint her, she will take them back with open arms. But you won't appreciate that any more than Father does. You'll take what you want, and give her very little in return. And when you inevitably hurt her, I will be the first in a line of people waiting to slaughter you. By the time I finish with you, there won't be enough left for the others to pick over.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Scandal in Spring

“When you feel as though you cannot stand on your own; stand up for another woman, whoever she is and wherever she may be. The next time you look at yourself, you'll feel invincible, like you never needed crutches, like your own two feet are strong enough. That's the secret.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“She'd been prepared to offer the only thing she had to barter to Tomas, if it would have kept Elain from starving. Would have sold her body on the street to anyone who'd pay her enough to feed her sister. Her body had meant nothing to her- nothing, she'd told herself as she'd felt her options closing in. Elain meant everything.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“Sisters may walk on different paths, but they're never farther than a heartstring.”
― Julia Ash, Find Them

“Kun nyt katselin silmänsä ummistanutta, polvistunutta Feelyä, jonka taivaaseen suunnatut sormenpäät koskettivat toisiaan, muodostamassa huulillaan hartaita, suloisia sanoja, minun täytyi muistuttaa itseäni siitä, että vieressäni oli paholaisen yökkäämä karvapallo.”
― Alan Bradley, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

“Thank you for being my brother’s good friend,” she said softly. “He needs you.”
― Belart Wright, Average Joe and the Extraordinaires

“Over the next hour, the pair hopped from vendor to vendor, purchasing cuts of grass-fed beef, sampling organic fruits and artisan cheeses, and asking lots of questions. It was fun to introduce Julia to the flavors of specialty items, like locally made honey infused with rosemary and rich, buttery Arizona pecans. Julia was a willing participant, trying anything Ginny pointed out.”
― Nicole Meier, The Second Chance Supper Club

“You guard your heart so hard I'm surprised it hasn't turned to coal. But instead it sounds like you found a guy who sees you for the diamond you are. And whether you realize it or not, you're worth it. You deserve happiness, on your own terms.”
― Chandra Blumberg, Digging Up Love

“My sister taught me everything I knew back then. She taught me how to tie my shoes and she made sure I finished my homework. When she shook me awake in the middle of the night and said, "It's time to get out of here," I got up and went because it was how she helped me get ready for the world.”
― Amy Smith Linton

“Sure, we're blood. But it's the sisterly love we share that binds us beyond our genetics.”
― Nikki Elizabeth, Poor Vinnie's Valor
