Famous Pam Brown Quotes

“Sisters never quite forgive each other for what happened when they were five.”

“An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.”

“When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?”

“Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.”

“It's hard to be responsible, adult and sensible all the time. How good it is to have a sister whose heart is as young as your own.”

“You never realize how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic - and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paperlace Mother's Day card and school report since day one.”

“Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.”

“A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.”
