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:

"I, who have no sisters or brothers, look with some degree of innocent envy on those who may be said to be born to friends." — James Boswell
"Being a brother or a sister (if you are lucky enough) is the role of a lifetime.” ― Holly Goldberg Sloan
"Your parents leave you too soon and your kids and spouse come along late, but your siblings know you when you are in your most inchoate form." ― Jeffrey Kluger

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Celine received a standing ovation inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and to top it off, she received the ICON Award from her 15-year-old son,  René-Charles Angélil . A surprised and emotional Celine thanked her fans, family, children, and "most importantly," her late husband  René Angélil , "who I know will continue to watch over me from above." Celine added, "René, this one's for you. The show must go on." Celine then made her way backstage to do interviews, but paused to watch  Madonna  and  Stevie Wonder 's tribute to  Prince . She danced, sang along and snapped her fingers as they performed"Nothing Compares 2 U" (which Prince wrote  Sinéad O'Connor ) and "Purple Rain." Afterward, C...
