Brothers Quotes

I often visit Maria Tatar’s ‘The Grimm Reader’ for a cold dose of courage. Her translations come from the Brothers Grimm, whose now-famous collection of ‘Kinder- und Hausmarchen’ (‘Children’s and Household Tales’) was first published in 1812. The book was not intended for young readers Picture Quote #1

He turns the key.Presto!It opens this book of odd taleswhich transform the Brothers Grimm.Transform?As if an enlarged paper clipcould be a piece of sculpture.(And it could.) Picture Quote #1

I just can’t imagine my life without Dostoevsky and The Brothers Karamazov. I can spin off of that and talk about Crime and Punishment and Tolstoy. I could talk about other novels, but for me it’s Dostoevsky. His sheer size and grandeur, his sacramentality, his ecclesiology, and his sense of the human predicament are as powerful as it gets. Can’t imagine not reading the Russians Picture Quote #1

When I got into Anna Karenina and Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment, that was the stuff that - that had a big effect on me, because it was so psychological Picture Quote #1

The truly great books are always novels: ‘Anna Karenina,’ ‘The Brothers Karamazov,’ ‘The Magic Mountain.’ Just as with ‘Shahnameh,’ I browse these books from time to time to remember how a great book works on us or to teach my students at Columbia University Picture Quote #1

My brothers and I grew up on stories about our grandfather building one-room schoolhouses and about our grandparents’ courtship and their early lives together in Indian Territory Picture Quote #1

My parents were in the book business, my brothers still run the Dutton bookstores in Los Angeles, and I’ve been interested in editing books and journals all of my life Picture Quote #1

Dana was what Steve called a silent partner in the Brixton Brothers Detective Agency. Being a silent partner meant that Dana didn’t carry a business card, that his name didn’t appear on the company letterhead, and he wanted nothing to do with the Brixton Brothers Detective Agency Picture Quote #1

Like I’m always telling my brothers, if you gonna go into history, you can’t do it with a hate attitude. You got to remember, times was different Picture Quote #1

I’m a total petrolhead. My three brothers and I used to ride scrambling bikes in the field near where we lived. We all liked cars. I’ve always loved the smell of an engine Picture Quote #1

My father always defined my gender to my brothers. He’d say, ‘This is your sister; you must take care of her.’ Picture Quote #1

Making music on TV used to be as common as commercials. In the 60s and 70s, prime time was stuffed with variety shows headlined by such major and treasured talents as Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Richard Pryor, who had a very brief comedy-variety hour on NBC that was censored literally to death Picture Quote #1

Mobile is a seaport town, and we ate a lot of seafood. We’d go fishing, we’d catch our fish and we’d eat our fish. It was a ritual on Saturday morning for all my family - my grandfather, my brothers, my uncles, my father - to go fishing, and then the ladies of the family would clean the fish and fry them up Picture Quote #1

We were brothers off the field, but there was no love lost on it. We fought like cats and dogs. Wes was always trying to strike me out, and meantime, I was always trying to hit a home run off him Picture Quote #1

It’s the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow Picture Quote #1

Fear would have told the Wright brothers not to fly. Fear would have told Rosa Parks to change seats. Fear would have told Steve Jobs that people hate touchscreens Picture Quote #1

I grew up and I was weaned on the Marx Brothers. They were sort of my all-time favorite. My parents showed me their movies when I was very young. And as I got older, I became a Charlie Chaplin fan, and I love Buster Keaton Picture Quote #1

Now, my brothers are bustin’ their asses to cover our shit, and you race to the bathroom like you’re fifteen, we’re in your bedroom, I just popped your cherry, and your Dad’s at the door. Babe, I get you got issues but on top of all our other shit, we gotta spend some time sortin’ those out Picture Quote #1

When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don’t count. I was very ill as a child and in and out of hospital. That sort of alienates you, and in my songs I put that to good use Picture Quote #1

Play and transformation were a bit part of my childhood - using whatever materials were at our disposal, my brothers and I would constantly build and create fantasy worlds Picture Quote #1

I like playing make-believe. And my brothers do it with me, so its fun. Its almost better than chocolate ice cream Picture Quote #1
