Love, Brothers & Sisters style

by Terri
Wedding

It’s Valentine’s Day, and much to my disappointment, Brothers & Sisters was not among the shows chosen by ABC to get its own set of Valentines. Lost, Grey’s Anatomy, and Ugly Betty all got their own cute sets of photo greetings, but the Walkers were left out — even though Sarah’s “Our love is like the war — out of control, endless, without reason” absolutely cries out to be on a Valentine card.

No matter. We’re used to getting the short end of the PR stick, right? For those who’d like to go ahead and slip a B&S quote into a romantic missive, here’s a little bouquet of lines from the show on the subject of love. Beware, though — as befits a series with an episode titled “Love Is Difficult,” there are some thorns among the blossoms.

“You know what love means in this family? It means you suck. It means nothing you do will be good enough.” — Justin, “An Act of Will”

“We don’t love the people we love because they’re perfect. We love the people we love because they are.” — Warren, “Mistakes Were Made”

“If you love me you’ll stop taking care of me and then we’ll fight.” — Justin, “Family Day”

“There are no shortcuts, in life or in love. Its pain must be felt. The alternative is much worse. It’s what makes us special. It makes us beautiful. It makes us worthy. The pain of how we love. But that pain is accompanied by something else, isn’t it? Hope? With your pain there is hope, and that is where you are. Somewhere between agony and optimism and prayer. So, you’re human. You’re alive. And that is what we have.” — Sarah and Joe’s therapist, “Love Is Difficult”

“Our love is like the war — out of control, endless, without reason.” — Sarah, “Holy Matrimony!”

“To say I love you seems inadequate, because I cannot imagine my life without you. Because when I’m cynical, you give me hope. In times where I felt I was losing my way, you’ve been my guidepost. I love you more with each passing day, and so I give you my hand, my heart, and my love.” — Robert, “Holy Matrimony!”

“You can’t help who you love.” — Holly, “Holy Matrimony!”

About Brothers & Sisters

ABC's Brothers & Sisters is all about the Walker family and their many, many secrets. Also, their complete inability to keep those secrets in any responsible fashion. Spilling secrets is what this site dedicated to the show is all about -- through episode recaps, character musings, spoilers, casting scoop, plot developments, news flashes, and all the good gossip about a beautiful bunch of actors. Don't keep it a secret -- stop by often, and spread the word!
