Twins Quotes - page 2

What if there are not only two nostrils, two eyes, two lobes, and so forth, but two psyches as well, and they are separately equipped? They go through life like Siamese twins inside one person ... They can be just a little different, like identical twins, or they can be vastly different, like good and evil. (Norman Mailer)
...we're twins, and so we love each other more than other people... View quote
Louisa May Alcott
When I have a kid, I want to buy one of those strollers for twins. Then put the kid in and run around, looking frantic. When he gets older, I'd tell him he used to have a brother, but he didn't obey. View quote
Steven Wright
Friends are true Twins in Soul; they Sympathize in every thing, and have the Love and Aversion. One is not happy without the other, nor can either of them be miserable alone. As if they could change Bodies, they take their turns in Pain as well as in Pleasure; relieving one another in their most adverse Conditions. What one enjoys, the other cannot Want. Like the Primitive Christians, they have all things in common, and no Property but in one another. View quote
William Penn
They say baseball is popular because everyone thinks they can play it. Similar reasoning may explain the popularity of the Olsen twins: Teenage girls love them because they believe they could be them. What, after all, do Mary-Kate and Ashley do in New York Minute that could not be done by any reasonably presentable female adolescent? Their careers are founded not on what they do, but on the vicarious identification of their fans, who enjoy seeing two girls making millions for doing what just about anybody could do. View quote
Roger Ebert
With the certitude of a true believer, Vellya Paapen had assured the twins that there was no such thing in the world as a black cat. He said that there were only black cat chaped holes in the universe. View quote
Arundhati Roy
I'm really into a blush on the eyelid and on the high of the cheek. The singer of 'Cocteau Twins' used to do that - really pink eyelids. It added a little romance to the hard kind of street-edge clothes. View quote
Chloë Sevigny
I like how if you criticize the war you don't support the troops. You're the ones sending them over to die, so how is it I don't support them? If the army was made up of child molesters, then I'd support them. If we went to an all child molester army, I would be their biggest supporter. "Please don't bring the troops home. Stay the course. Keep them there a long time." But they're not child molesters. And they're not the Twins, that's for sure. Where are the Twins? Send in the Twins. I'd like to hear that scene. "Jenna, Barbara... Daddy and I have talked it over and we want you to go fight in Iraq." View quote
Larry David

My strength and my weakness are twins in the same womb. View quote
Marge Piercy
I was much distressed by next door people who had twin babies & played the violin: but one of the twins died, & the other has eaten the fiddle - so all is peace. (Edward Lear)
I agree that you might clone some people who would look amazingly like their parental cell donors, but the odds are that they'd be almost as different as you or me, and certainly more different than any of today's identical twins. View quote
Lewis Thomas
Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which. View quote
Algernon Charles Swinburne
In the beginning there were two primal spirits,Twins spontaneously active,These are the Good and the Evil, in thought, and in word, and in deed. View quote
Zoroaster
I loved working with Valerie. That was the most wonderful revelation to find that when we are on a set and we're playing our roles, we're like separated twins. We can almost finish each other's dialogue. View quote
Mary Tyler Moore
When I was born the doctor took one look at my face .... turned me over and said. Look ... twins. View quote

3) If George is not ready to send the twins, then he should bring our troops home immediately. We will demand a speedy withdrawal. View quote
Cindy Sheehan
I always had a fascination with twins. View quote
Francine Pascal
If you've ever sat in a room with twins, immediately you're forced to deal with this confusion. You're afraid to call them by name because you're afraid you're going to get it wrong. At first being a twin is a source of power, you can switch, you can fool people-but then it becomes a vulnerability because people confuse you when you don't want them to. The famous story of the twins who were both spanked when either one of them did something wrong because the parents wanted to make sure they got the right twin. So that would immediately make each twin totally responsible for the other one's actions and therefore would make you want to control the other twin's actions. It gets quite twisted and the confusion of identities becomes quite intense. View quote
David Cronenberg
O'er the rugged mountain's brow Clara threw the twins she nursed, And remarked, "I wonder now Which will reach the bottom first?" View quote
Harry Graham (poet)
The fallacy of genetic determinism is to suppose that the genes "make" the organism. It is a basic principle of developmental biology that organisms undergo a continuous development from conception to death, a development that is the unique consequence of the interaction of the genes in their cells, the temporal sequence of environments through which the organisms pass, and random cellular processes that determine the life, death, and transformation of cells. As a result, even the fingerprints of identical twins are not identical. Their temperaments, mental processes, abilities, life choices, disease histories, and death certainly differ despite the determined efforts of many parents to enforce as great a similarity as possible. (Richard Lewontin)
So here the twins were laid low at Aeneas' hands, down they crashed like lofty pine trees axed. View quote
Homer
Suppose two sisters who are twins and who are equally beautiful, walk down a street. One of them is wearing the Islamic Hijab i.e. the complete body is covered except for the face and the hands up to the wrists, and the other twin is wearing a mini skirt or shorts. Around the corner there is a hooligan who is waiting for an opportunity to tease a girl. Who will he tease? The girl wearing the Islamic Hijab or the girl wearing the mini skirt or shorts? Dresses that expose more than they conceal, are an indirect temptation to the opposite sex for teasing, molestation and rape. The Qur'an rightly says that the hijab prevents women from being molested. View quote
Zakir Naik
There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: twins. View quote
Josh Billings
Not even identical twins can have the exact same experiences, and their brains are not wired the same way. View quote
