I listen to my sisters who are living in Georgetown with her. They said this is different. So I've been traveling back and forth and I thought at one point she would be able to battle back a little bit, but this one wasn't looking good. I went back up there (Tuesday), spent the evening with her and most of this morning. I feel very blessed that she's at peace now because the last 10 years was hard on her and the last two to three days were grueling. But she was very tough to the end.

I'm an only child, so I never had sisters to tell me what I should like based on my gender. I liked what the boys were doing and thought: 'Why let them have all the fun?'

If people say they can't stand Ray and still watch her, then something else is going on. It's a sort of bonding experience. Online forums have made it easier for people to become sisters and brothers in hate. The irony is that, by writing and talking about her, her critics become her advertisers.

I had a lot of trouble speaking as a kid. I didn't really speak in coherent sentences until I was, like, 6 years old. There was a long time where everybody was very worried, because my sisters were so advanced for their age, and I would barely talk.

I'll read things like what your mom's name is, where you were born, ... Anything that could help me get ahead on something you think I might not know, like how many sisters or brothers you've got. ... Any way I can take away your manhood, that's what I'm going for out there.

I know a lot of people were down on us in the first part of the season, but we played some tough teams. We played Peoria Manuel, Danville, Lincoln. We didn't play the 'Weak Sisters of the St. Teresa.' I think that prepared us for this playoff run.

I have three sisters and two brothers. My younger brother and I were born here, but the rest of my family is from Cambodia. My family went through hard times in Cambodia and came here in the early '80s.

In Africa, education is not free; everybody must pay to go to school. Children alone in the villages cannot do that. You hear of older sisters selling their bodies, not for money but for food for their brothers and sisters...A couple women at the conference were planning to go back and travel from tribe to tribe, offering free education one day a week to the children. Each week it will be a different subject. That is a great idea!

I can still remember the first time I was ever in Jet or Ebony, and suddenly all my mother's sisters said, 'I guess you are doing OK.' It didn't matter that I was in the New York Times or other papers.

Come, dear sisters - let us join together. I am a sacrifice to the one who tells me of my Beloved.

This is my mission now. I want every one of my brothers and sisters to know. I don't want even one of them to have to go through what I've gone through.

'A League of Their Own' had some special meaning for me, I guess - it's about women joining together and being empowered, but also about sisters sticking together even when there's drama and struggles. I'm really close to my two sisters and my brother, so I liked that about it.

The Hewitt sisters were these amazing - both sort of philanthropists and dilettantes who went out and single-handedly collected all of these of-the-moment designs in wallpaper and textiles and in graphic design in order to teach people about design.

The inalienable dignity of every human being and the rights which flow from that dignity - in the first place the right to life and the defense of life - are at the heart of the church's message."" Pope John Paul ended his address, saying: ""In spite of divisions among Christians, 'all those justified by faith through baptism are incorporated into Christ...brothers and sisters in the Lord.'

The first memory I have was my sisters dancing to the radio when they played records by Benny Goodman and Harry James and of the sort. But the record that got me was a record by Derek Sampson, who was a young guy, called 'Boogie Express,' and it was boogie-woogie. Really, it was on fire, and that got me.

I don't believe the accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.

A democratic party, a part of a democratic West, does not, should not and cannot have private armies and cannot be involved in criminality and violence, ... and this is, I think as the sisters have pointed out, the golden opportunity for them to indicate once and for all and finally that they are going to separate themselves from that type of support.
