Brother Quotes

My father was a dark-skinned brother, but my mother was a very fair-skinned lady. From what I understand, she was Creole; we think her people originally came from New Orleans.

I performed adequately at high 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 Picture Quote #1

In the early 70s, I started to feel like Philadelphia soul was the black-sheep brother of rock and roll. I decided to try to get away from it Picture Quote #1

My brother Alan - who was seven years younger than me - died from leukemia when he was 52. He never knew a day’s good health - I wish I could have given him some of my good health. But he was always so cheerful and sweet Picture Quote #1

Why have we books in heaven?Why not? asked my brother. What strange ideas we mortals have of the pleasures and duties of this blessed life! Picture Quote #1

My father’s family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn’t a brother who talked a lot. He was a workingman, a quiet, blue-collar dude Picture Quote #1

I hope that when people see my body of work, they will say, ‘That brother dropped it for real on us, even at the expense of his own image.’ Picture Quote #1

I was not athletically inclined. I was very quiet, introverted, non-confrontational. My three older brothers were athletes - basketball, football - but I was kind of a momma’s boy.

My youngest brother and I went on a ten-day canoe trip in Bowron Provincial Park in British Columbia years ago. Believe it or not, we took only granola, thinking we’d be eating a lot of lake trout. Well, we neglected to bring along a net, and our fishing line was only 8-lb. test Picture Quote #1

I’m against redefining marriage historically 5,000 years... because then it’ll be re-defined. What if it’s between a brother and a sister? Picture Quote #1

I was born a Christian, but I became an atheist back in high school because I just started losing faith. I’d lost my brother and best friend, Nadarius. I couldn’t get a job. But I do feel like there is a higher power now, and it’s inside of me Picture Quote #1
