Famous quotes containing the words big and/or brother:

    That big gun in your hand makes you look grown up—you think! I’ll bet you spend hours posing in front of a mirror holding it, trying to look tough!... You scum!
    Richard Brooks (1912–1992)

    I against my brother
    I and my brother against our cousin
    I, my brother and our cousin against the neighbors
    All of us against the foreigner.
