Grab a brother or sister and hug 'em tight: Sunday is National Siblings Day.
Observed every year on April 10, National Siblings Day honors our closest relatives. Founded by New Yorker Claudia Evart after her siblings died, the holiday hasn't gone national yet but was a trending topic last year on social media, according to the Siblings Day Foundation website. 
"Siblings are a special gift, and bonding amongst them is vital part of keeping our families, communities and nation strong," the site reads. "Brothers and sisters provide an anchor for one another, becoming some of our closest friends and most trusted advisers."
Whether you've got a sis or a bro or a friend you're close to, take some time Sunday to let them know you care. Below are quotes, separated by topic and collected from Goodreads,QuoteGarden and Psychology Today, to share.

Quotes about sisters:

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo.

My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards   CREDIT:  HBO   O h now, that was VERY impressive. And by “impressive” we mean gruelling, cathartic and upsetting. By the end of the Battle of the Bastards and the Jon Snow v Ramsay Bolton showdown over Winterfell   we felt as if we’d crawled through a freezing quagmire, climbed a wall of cadavers and gasped for breath as a dozen dying men sat on our faces .  Which, oddly enough, is exactly what befell Jon as the grumpy saviour negotiated the grandest mass battle Game of Thrones has yet mounted for our enjoyment/terror/disgust Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards A  cast of hundreds, a budget of millions, flayed men roasting on an open fire – season four’s penultimate episode had it all.
