One day, quite some time ago, I happened on a photograph of Napoleon's youngest brother, Jerome, taken in 1852. And I realized then, with an amazement I have not been able to lessen since: 'I am looking at eyes that looked at the Emperor.' Sometimes I would mention this amazement, but since no one seemed to share it, nor even to understand it (life consists of these little touches of solitude), I forgot about it. - Roland Barthes I swear, I've never met any demon as annoying as you are." "You haven't met my youngest brother. - Larissa Ione My youngest brother had a wonderful schtick from some time in high school, through to graduating medicine. He had a card in his wallet that read, 'If I am found with amnesia, please give me the following books to read ...' And it listed half a dozen books where he longed to recapture that first glorious sense of needing to find out 'what happens next' ... the feeling that keeps you up half the night. Th...

Oh, brothers! I don't care for brothers. My elder brother won't die, and my younger brothers seem never to do anything else. - Oscar Wilde Actually, it's my younger brother who has me ticked, but since you brought up the boyfriend thing, take my advice; Be the black widow. Find a guy, have fun with him, then eviscerate him in the morning before he can brag about it to his friends. (Chrissy) - Sherrilyn Kenyon out in the wide readership,his younger brother was kicking an ice bucket in the woods behind the Marriott, his younger brother who was missing that part of the brain that allows you to make out with your pillow. Poor kid. - David Berman I had an older brother who passed away recently, an older sister and a younger brother. - Steve Case As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child. Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what w...

Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up. - Shawn Ashmore But she's the Pastor's wife... Do you not understand the irony of this whole situation?" he said clearly enjoying himself. "One evil being at your door, kissing the hand of your adopted mother who's married to the Pastor with whom you live. You, the sweet, innocent, unscathed mate of my twin brother who renounces what he is, but is also...an evil being. I mean, you can't write this stuff. - Shelly Crane Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. - Khalil Gibran Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty. - Nathaniel Hawthorne In stand-up it really helps to play yourself and talk about your own feelings.

Oh, you're going to die all right. All of you. And for what you've done to my brother you will suffer unimaginably! (Kessar) Yada, yada, yada. Am I the only one who gets sick of the bad-guy monologue? 'Ooo, I'm the big evil. I'm going to kill you all. Just wait while I bore you to tears with my egomaniacal bullshit. I'm just a demon windbag who likes to hear himself speak and I'm trying to intimidate you.' (Kat) - Sherrilyn Kenyon The only thing I don't divulge is the truth about Mother killing little Carolina. I don't know why. Perhaps I sense he's not ready to know that just yet. Maybe he never will. People can live with only so much honesty. And sometimes, people can suprise you. I talk to my brother as I never have before, trusting in him, letting the river listen to my confessions on its path toward the sea. - Libba Bray And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time. - Beau Br...

A 'very good friend' is a dangerous category with Indian girls. From here you can either make fast progress or if you play it wrong, you can go down to the lowest category invented by the Indian women ever - rakhi brother. Rakhi brother really means 'you can talk to me, but don't even freaking think about anything else you bore'. - Chetan Bhagat

Zombies are the middle children of the otherworldly family. Vampires are the oldest brother who gets to have a room in the attic, all tripped out with a disco ball and shag carpet. Werewolves are the youngest, the babies, always getting pinched and told they're cute. With all that attention stolen away from the middle child Zombie, no wonder she shuffles off grumbling, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. - Kevin James Breaux Dad made it to Gold Shield Detective, so he always busted Robin, my oldest brother, and me. Always got caught, whatever we were doing. - Kevin Eubanks My oldest brother was a big influence on the films I watched as a kid. - Seann William Scott

I learned how to bake cookies. - Monica Alexander You should see his older brother," said Jem. "Makes Gabriel look sweeter than gingerbread.

Raining. Oh, brother, a scratch on the fender. Damn rabbi on his unicycle. Wait a minute, where are my car keys? Could have sworn I left them in this pocket. No, just some loose change and ticket stubs from the all-black version of Elaine Stritch' s one-woman show. Did I check my desk? Better go back inside. What's in the top drawer here? Hmm. Envelopes, my paper clips, a loaded revolver in case the tenant in 2A begins yodelling again. - Woody Allen Oh, brothers! I don't care for brothers. My elder brother won't die, and my younger brothers seem never to do anything else. - Oscar Wilde Our bodies are our temples. They should have a little more respect for themselves than that."

I have two brothers buried in the military cemetery in Texas. I don't want to see any more of that. - F Murray Abraham She [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children.

She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized. - Paulo Coelho I've never been in this part of Trenton before. I don't feel comfortable driving around buildings that haven't got gang slogans sprayed on them. Look at this place. No boarded-up windows. No garbage in the gutter.

Don't know how people can live like this. - Janet Evanovich The two brothers who sought to get their only family back, to feel her warmth, one lost his last family member and the other could never feel warmth again. The one who wanted her baby back l...

I performed adequately at school, but in comparison to my older brother, who set the record for the highest cumulative average for our high school, my performance was decidedly mediocre. - Steven Chu Even as a small child I never felt that I should have to compete with anyone - even my older brother. - Dwayne Hickman Growing up I played in garage bands and cover bands with my older brother, and he got us a gig opening up for some hippie jam band. I was 15. I felt like such an adult! - Charles Kelley My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy.

"What?" Again that glare. "Go away. Stop being an idiot. I don't even know you." "You're healing my little brother Bowie." "Yeah, that doesn't make ...

For Isildur would not surrender it to Elrond and Crdan who stood by. They counselled him to cast it into the fire of Orodruin night at hand... But Isildur refused this counsel, saying: 'This I will have as weregild for my father's death, and my brother's. Was it not I that dealt the Enemy his death-blow?' And the Ring that he held seemed to him exceedingly fair to look on; and he would not suffer it to be destroyed. - J R R Tolkien Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West! - J R R Tolkien My brother Jim and I spent many wonderful summers wo...

Love, the best big brother ever and Emily and Marie, too. I smiled. It was a mark of how much I loved my big brother that I found his lack of punctuation and proper grammar endearing. - Kody Keplinger People always stay the age that they died at.

We are one now, little brother, you and I," Sebastian said. "We are one. - Cassandra Clare If I were wise, I shouldn't tell you. But I won't be wise, Harry, not for this time.

I am going to play with you for life and death, little brother, and before we begin the game I'm going to lay my cards on the table. - Hermann Hesse - My little brother craps himself." I laughed. "- Well, maybe it's because he's, like, only one?" "- Whatever, it's still gross. - Jennifer L Armentrout Little brother, I don't mean to be a downer, but we're talking about War here.
