Rick Riordan
“I'm afraid not." Hades sighed. "My son here convinced me that perhaps I should prioritize my list of enemies." He glared at me with distaste. "As much as I dislike certain upstart demigods, it would not do for Olympus to fall. I would miss bickering with my siblings. And if there is one thing we agree on - it is that you were a TERRIBLE father.”
Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

Cynthia Hand

Shannon L. Alder
“The more you talk about it, rehash it, rethink it, cross analyze it, debate it, respond to it, get paranoid about it, compete with it, complain about it, immortalize it, cry over it, kick it, defame it, stalk it, gossip about it, pray over it, put it down or dissect its motives it continues to rot in your brain. It is dead. It is over. It is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up your life and no one wants to be near your rotted corpse of memories and decaying attitude. Be the funeral director of your life and bury that thing!”
Shannon L. Alder

Simone Elkeles
“He鈥檚 my brother, my blood. He annoys the hell out of me most of the time, but when it comes right down to it I want to see him graduate from college and have little annoying mini-Alexes and mini-Brittanys running around in the future”
Simone Elkeles, Rules of Attraction

Brenna Yovanoff
“I wanted to tell her that I loved her, and not in the complicated way I loved our parents, but in a simple way I never had to think about. I loved her like breathing.”
Brenna Yovanoff, The Replacement

Shannon L. Alder
“If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn鈥檛 matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don鈥檛 have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.”
Shannon L. Alder

V.C. Andrews
“I wish the night would end,
I wish the day'd begin,
I wish it would rain or snow,
or the wind would blow,
or the grass would grow,
I wish I had yesterday,
I wish there were games to play...”
V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

Cynthia Hand
“Silver Avalanche coming up the driveway," calls Jeffrey from upstairs.

Cynthia Hand, Unearthly

Cassandra Clare
“Why did you?鈥� Clary asked.
鈥淲hy did I what?鈥�
鈥淗elp me back there.鈥�
鈥淵ou鈥檙e my sister.鈥�
She swallowed. In the morning light, Sebastian鈥檚 face had some color in it. There were faint burns along his neck where demon ichor had splashed him.
鈥淵ou never cared that I was your sister before.鈥�
鈥淒idn鈥檛 I?鈥� His black eyes flicked up and down her. 鈥淥ur father鈥檚 dead,鈥� he said. 鈥淭here are no other relatives. You and I, we are the last. The last of the Morgensterns. You are the only one left whose blood runs in my veins, too. You are my last chance.”
Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

Vera Nazarian
“It's a commonly expressed and rather nice, romantic notion that we are all "sisters" and "brothers."

Let's be real. Fact is, we might be better served to accept that we are all siblings.

Siblings fight, pull each other's hair, steal stuff, and accuse each other indiscriminately.

But siblings also know the undeniable fact that they are the same blood, share the same origins, and are family.

Even when they hate each other.

And that tends to put all things in perspective.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Zadie Smith
“People talk about the happy quiet that can exist between two loves, but this, too, was great; sitting between his sister and his brother, saying nothing, eating. Before the world existed, before it was populated, and before there were wars and jobs and colleges and movies and clothes and opinions and foreign travel -- before all of these things there had been only one person, Zora, and only one place: a tent in the living room made from chairs and bed-sheets. After a few years, Levi arrived; space was made for him; it was as if he had always been. Looking at them both now, Jerome found himself in their finger joints and neat conch ears, in their long legs and wild curls. He heard himself in their partial lisps caused by puffy tongues vibrating against slightly noticeable buckteeth. He did not consider if or how or why he loved them. They were just love: they were the first evidence he ever had of love, and they would be the last confirmation of love when everything else fell away.”
Zadie Smith, On Beauty

John Corey Whaley
“Not only had my brother disappeared, but--and bear with me here--a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from them on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared.”
John Corey Whaley, Where Things Come Back

Cynthia Hand
“Christian is staring at us. He鈥檚 an only child and could never understand the delicate joys of sibling abuse.”
Cynthia Hand, Hallowed

Celeste Ng
“When a long, long time later, he stares down at the silent blue marble of the earth and thinks of his sister, as he will at every important moment of his life. He doesn't know this yet, but he senses it deep down in his core. So much will happen, he thinks, that I would want to tell you.”
Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You

Rick Riordan
“Hazel frowned. "Why that one?"

"You don't see the ghost?" Frank asked.

"Ghost?" Nico asked.

Okay... if Frank was seeing a ghost that the Underworld kids couldn't see, something was definitely wrong.”
Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

Sarah J. Maas
“Ruhn looked at his sister and said softly, "You brought so much joy into my life, Bryce."
It was perhaps the only goodbye they'd be able to make.”
Sarah J. Maas, House of Sky and Breath

Julia Quinn
“He gave her a sly, sideways look. "Did you
bring it?"

"My list? Heavens, no. What can you be thinking?"

His smile widened. "I brought mine."

Daphne gasped. "You didn't!"

"I did. Just to torture Mother. I'm going peruse it right in front of her, pull out my quizzing glass鈥�"

"You don't have a quizzing glass."

He grinned鈥攖he slow, devastatingly wicked smile that all Bridgerton males seemed to possess. "I bought one just for this occasion."

"Anthony, you absolutely cannot. She will kill you. And then, somehow, she'll find a way to blame me."

"I'm counting on it.”
Julia Quinn, The Duke and I

Julia Quinn

鈥淲hy?鈥� Hyacinth asked suspiciously.
鈥淚t would be an excellent match,鈥� he continued. 鈥淚f nothing else, think of the children.鈥�
She knew she鈥檇 regret it, but still she had to ask. 鈥淲hat children?鈥�
He grinned. 鈥淭he lovely lithping children you could have together. Garethhhh and Hyathinthhhh. Hyathinth and Gareth. And the thublime Thinclair tots.鈥�
Hyacinth stared at him like he was an idiot.
Which he was, she was quite certain of it.
She shook her head. 鈥淗ow on earth Mother managed to give birth to seven perfectly normal children and one freak is beyond me."
"Thith way to the nurthery.鈥� Gregory laughed as she
headed back into the room. 鈥淲ith the thcrumptious little
Tharah and Thamuel Thinclair. Oh, yeth, and don鈥檛 forget
wee little Thuthannah!”
Julia Quinn, It's in His Kiss

Gillian Flynn
“I don't feel the need to explain my actions to her. I don't clarify, I don't doubt, I don't worry. I don't tell her everything, not anymore, but I tell her more than anyone else, by far. I tell her as much as I can.”
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

Shel Silverstein
“Teddy said it was a hat, So I put it on. Now dad is saying, "where the heck's the toilet plunger gone?”
Shel Silverstein

E.L. Konigsburg
“I've been the oldest child since before you were born”
E.L. Konigsburg, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Cassandra Clare
“Cruel Prince James strode into the chamber, his cape flashing behind him and his terrible, terrible mustache askew with rage,鈥� Lucie narrated the moment James walked through the door.
鈥淒oes it need be said twice that it鈥檚 terrible?鈥� James said.
鈥淗e required a hot beverage to soothe his throat, parched from barking out his wicked commands all day. Tea, he thought, yes, tea and revenge.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檒l just go put the kettle on,鈥� James sighed.”
Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold

John Corey Whaley
“Dr. Webb says that losing a sibling is oftentimes much harder for a person than losing any other member of the family. "A sibling represents a person's past, present, and future," he says. "Spouses have each other, and even when one eventually dies, they have memories of a time when they existed before that other person and can more readily imagine a life without them. Likewise, parents may have other children to be concerned with--a future to protect for them. To lose a sibling is to lose the one person with whom one shares a lifelong bond that is meant to continue on into the future.”
John Corey Whaley, Where Things Come Back

Veronica Roth
“Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.”
Veronica Roth, Allegiant

Richelle Mead
“You want to be an alchemist so badly? Don't wait to react to the immediate problem.
Plan ahead. Look at the big picture and you won't ever have to deal with that problem.
Better to save yourself from a major catastrophe than drag your feet over a bunch of little inconveniences.”
Richelle Mead, The Fiery Heart

Julia Quinn
“Milk?鈥� Lady Bridgerton asked.
鈥淭hank you,鈥� Gareth replied. 鈥淣o sugar, if you please.鈥�
鈥淗yacinth takes hers with three,鈥� Gregory said, reaching for a piece of shortbread.
鈥淲hy,鈥� Hyacinth ground out, 鈥渨ould he care?鈥�
鈥淲ell,鈥� Gregory replied, taking a bite and chewing, 鈥渉e is your special friend.”
Julia Quinn, It's in His Kiss

Shannon L. Alder
“You can't fight hatred with hatred and expect anyone to listen to you. You can only try to lessen it with humor, wit, truth and commonsense. If that doesn't work run like hell, while they throw rocks at you.”
Shannon L. Alder
