friendship

Friends become wiser together through a healthy clash of viewpoints.

It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.

I don't like relationships, though. I mean, it is nice and all, but I prefer to be the friend. I don't know why. They're kind of exhausting.

A friend drops their plans when you're in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you're in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice--but when you don't follow it, they still respect and love you.

Let me, however, although no verbal critic, protest against the profanation of the word friend. In this my history I must be honest, make a distinction between the oriental diamond and its worthless imitation of paste, and separate the grain from the chaff _ gossamer words, that weigh nothing, from substantial realities heavier than gold.

You__ be hard-pressed to find an old person who would trade in a true friend for any amount of popularity or fame. You'd also be hard-pressed to find a young person who wouldn't.

I feel like Amy wanted people to believe she really was perfect. And as we got to be friends, I got to know her. And she wasn't perfect. You know? She was brilliant and charming and all that, but she was also controlling and OCD and a drama queen and a bit of a liar. Which was fine by me. It just wasn't fine by her. She got rid of me because I knew she wasn't perfect.

Books make the best ersatz friendships.

Having a friend made everything else suck less.

Irony of "importance": Those who deserve, don't get it; Those who don't, get it in abundance by you.

If growing up means not seeing one__ family and friends on the regular__ll in the name of paying the bills, then growing up is overrated.

Friends are family members we have a choice over.

I speak, I speak, and truth at that. Writers are a curious breed: brooding, fickle, alternately loving and hating their work__nd each other. You__e my friend? Don__ pick up that pen!

Once in a rare lifetime have you ever been in a roomful of people who only helped you when you looked at them, listened to them. this was one of those magic times. I knew it.

I am not stopping till my enemies become my friends.

...every "Good Bye" said by a true friend, shall always be followed by "Hello" and every happy end shall always be a beginning of something New and Wonderful!

Friend of everyone is friend of none.

For a ten-year-old boy and a ten-year-old girl to become good friends was not easy under any circumstances. Indeed, it might be one of the most difficult accomplishments in the world.
