If we help an educated man's daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? - not how she can learn but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?
When I walk up on that shore in Florida I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say 'I'm going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I'm going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I'm going to adopt a child. It's not too late I can still live my dreams.'
The illness and the untimely death of my brothers has made me conscious of the fact that - rather than just think about it - it's crucial that you do today what you want to do.
The miser starving his brother's body starves also his own soul and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice poor and naked and miserable.
My brother was a great favorite with everybody and his death cast a gloom upon the whole neighborhood.

I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer.
I grew up in a big Irish Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym.
From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
