Sick Brother

Famous quotes containing the words sick and/or brother:

    “We’d like to fight but we fear defeat,
    We’d like to work but we’re feeling too weak,
    We’d like to be sick but we’d get the sack,
    We’d like to behave, we’d like to believe,
    We’d like to love, but we’ve lost the knack.”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

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