“Our respect had once been mutual. But that was before the envy.”
― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove

“And, actually, I was feeling pretty good at the time. My brothers were like individual rays of sunshine that had come crashing into my room to drive out the fragments of Despair. For a few minutes, everything was golden. And everything was okay.”
― Abbie Emmons, 100 Days of Sunlight

“Brother, you need never kneel to me again. We shall rule this realm together, you and I.”

“NEWT shuffles over awkwardly to the bereft THESEUS. NEWT hesitates, struggling to find words of comfort. Then for the first time in his life, he puts his arms around his brother. They hug.

NEWT: I've chosen my side.”
― J.K. Rowling, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald: The Original Screenplay

“She'd had a terrible time with his brothers' wives : seeing her with them was like watching someone pet a cat against its fur.”
― Tracy Chevalier, At the Edge of the Orchard

“Are all your family wizards?" asked Harry, who found Ron just as interesting as Ron found him.
"Er- yes, I think so," said Ron. "I think Mom's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him."
"So you must know loads of magic already."
The Weasleys were clearly one of those old wizarding families the pale boy in Diagon Alley had talked about.
"I heard you went to live with Muggles," said Ron. "What are they like?"
"Horrible- well, not all of them. My aunt and uncle and cousin are, though. Wish I'd had three wizard brothers."
"Five," said Ron. For some reason, he was looking gloomy. "I'm the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts. You could say I've got a lot to live up to. Bill and Charlie have already left- Bill was head boy and Charlie was captain of Quidditch. Now Percy's a prefect. Fred and George mess around a lot, but they still get really good marks and everyone thinks they're really funny. Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it's no big deal, because they did it first. You never get anything new, either, with five brothers. I've got Bill's old robes, Charlie's old wand, and Percy's old rat."
Ron reached inside his jacket and pulled out a fat gray rat, which was asleep.
"His name's Scabbers and he's useless, he hardly ever wakes up. Percy got an owl from my dad for being made a prefect, but they couldn't aff- I mean, I got Scabbers instead."
Ron's ears went pink. He seemed to think he'd said too much, because he went back to staring out of the window.”

“There are different levels of trust, and I need to get back to the point where he trusts me so much he no longer has to say it aloud.”

“I notice a deliberate change in my brother. He's harder. He has a switch, and once a fight comes near, he flicks it and he is no longer my brother Rube. He's a machine.”

“And I can't stop crying for anything in the world right then. And I can't let go of him. Nothing could make me let go of that kid. The house could fall into the sea and crush everybody and we could go underwater and I would hold him the whole time.”
― Hannah Moskowitz, Teeth

“When he glanced back at his twin, he saw that Offi's general woe-is-me-for-I-am-a-tortured-soul-and-I-walk-the-world-alone face had been replaced by a brand-new by-dinkus-this-is-worrisome face.”

“This evening, sprawled on the sofa, this animal with whom he shared one half of his genetic code had overstepped the unspoken boundaries of decent human conversation.”
― Michel Houellebecq, The Elementary Particles

“He felt that if they had both not kept up appearances, but had spoken, as it is called, from the heart¡ªthat is to say, had said only just what they were thinking and feeling¡ªthey would simply have looked into each other's faces, and Konstantin could only have said, "You're dying, you're dying!" and Nikolay could only have answered, "I know I'm dying, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" And they could have said nothing more, if they had said only what was in their hearts. But life like that was impossible, and so Konstantin tried to do what he had been trying to do all his life, and never could learn to do, though, as far as he could observe, many people knew so well how to do it, and without it there was no living at all. He tried to say what he was not thinking, but he felt continually that it had a ring of falsehood, that his brother detected him in it, and was exasperated at it.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“He is straight ahead, straight out, straight and hard, and ready to fight.
"Hope you're better than your brother," someone calls.
It hurts me. Wounds me.
"I am."
But not as much as that.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdogs

“As weeks edge past us, he fights and wins and he doesn't bother shaving. He turns up and wins. Turns up and wins. He only smiles when *I* fight well.”

but theirs.”
― Joanna C. Valente, Marys of the Sea

'Whoa,' Offi said, with feeling. 'You totally just gave me chills.”

“I'm sorry, Puck. I truly am. I knew what was inside the case... Keelycael... she knew of our prophecy, claimed we were already on the path to destruction, and one of us would kill the other. This way, we can live. I just... I couldn't kill you, and I couldn't let you kill me. You would have hated yourself. I'm sorry," he repeated. "So sorry."
- Sin to Puck”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Warrior

“All men are brothers.”

“.You two are newly mated. The last thing you need is your mentally defective brother spooking the shit out of your woman."

That was a vintage Fang comment. One of the sarcastic retorts that Vane had been craving to hear all of these months past.
"Bride doesn't spook easily."

"Probably true if she sees you first thing in the morning.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Bad Moon Rising

“When I looked up to that vacant night sky I was struck by its sheer emptiness. There was no more moon, no more stars, no sign of the beautiful blanket of neon dandruff beyond.”
― P.S. Greenwood, The Goodbye Bug

“I did apply myself, Johannes. Very enthusiastically. Just not anything you'd find interesting.' He leaned forward and said in a confidential tone, 'My lollygagging was of a very high standard.'
'Get away from me, you vile sewer,' said Cabal coldly.
Horst's smile widened. 'You really have missed me.'
'I...' Cabal wavered. He closed his eyes and said, 'Yes, I really have.' He reopened his eyes and was relieved to find Horst looking somewhat surprised rather than smirking. 'I bear a soul now, Horst. A wretched nuisance much of the time. Much of the time.' He waved his pen impatiently at the momentarily befuddled vampire.”
― Jonathan L. Howard, The Brothers Cabal

“He sat and stared at Harry for a few moments, then, as though he had suddenly realized what he was doing, he looked quickly out of the window again.
"Are all your family wizards?" asked Harry, who found Ron just as interesting as Ron found him.

“All through his childhood, he had wished he had brothers instead of, or in addition to, three sisters. That wish, too, had died in the war.”

“I bet you have a girlfriend or two, eh?"
"Huh? Uh... no!"
"Why not?"
"Why not? W-well, uh... I guess I'm just not, y'know... ready for all that romance stuff? It's a lot to handle..."
Oh my gosh, he's actually getting the better of Soma?
"Aww, aren't you a shy one? But, y'know? For someone who's taken the First Seat, that just won't do. I tell ya what! As a special favor, I'll give you a little advice- a trick to becoming a better chef."

"See...
you want to find that someone special. One who means so much...
you'll want to give her the best food you've ever made.”
