friendship

Perhaps her requirements were too great,Or her indulgence for human weakness too small,For her attempts to form a friendship had alwaysEnded in disappointment.

I'm never going to be happy, but I could get close now, I think. I could be almost normal. I could have a friend.

Ged saw all these things from outside and apart, alone, and his heart was very heavy in him, though he would not admit to himself that he was sad. As night fell he still lingered in the streets, reluctant to go back to the inn. He heard a man and a girl talking together merrily as they came down the street past him towards the town square, and all at once he turned, for he knew the man's voice.He followed and caught up with the pair, coming up beside them in the late twilight lit only by distant lantern-gleams. The girl stepped back, but the man stared at him and then flung up the staff he carried, holding it between them as a barrier to ward off the threat or act of evil. And that was somewhat more than Ged could bear. His voice shook a little as he said, "I thought you would know me, Vetch."Even then Vetch hesitated for a moment."I do know you," he said, and lowered the staff and took Ged's hand and hugged him round the shoulders-" I do know you! Welcome, my friend, welcome! What a sorry greeting I gave you, as if you were a ghost coming up from behind_ and I have waited for you to come, and looked for you-

What happiness to sit in intimate conversation with someone of like mind, warmed by candid discussion of the amusing and fleeting ways of this world ... but such a friend is hard to find, and instead you sit there doing your best to fit in with whatever the other is saying, feeling deeply alone.

God desires that man should be. God does not wish to be alone. The meaning of existence is the conquest of loneliness, the acquisition of kinship and nearness.

Sometimes I think, What a man gonna do with all this media publicity, Photos in newspapers, photography in and among the industry, references and contacts when he cannot help a friend, when he has no family life, and not Even a dog to welcome him after work hours!

And that is one of the worst things about this life. As a liar, a pretend person, you cannot really truly ever be someone's friend. My American life, it is lonely. Often, it is very, very lonely.

You could climb to the top of the world and jump into the deepest of ravines, but if you don__ have someone to share it with you__l always be looking back.

I have a hundred million fans, Angela, but I have very few friends.

Do not earn wealth and lose people, for earning people is a way of earning wealth.

Just because all your friends are doing it, doesn't mean you have to follow suit. Don't be a blind follower, you don't know where you're going.

Only real true friends will tell you when your face is dirty,Others will either pamper, avoid or laugh at you certainly.[227] - 4 (Thoughts)

I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.

I give and accept waves of welcome. I attract wonderful, life-minded friends who enrich my life.

You can never forget the past unless you face up to it.

Many are the friendships that have found an unforseeen and sudden end on a journey, and few are those that survive it.

I have been so very, very fortunate in my life. I've met or been in contact with several of my childhood heroes. I've interacted with people all over this planet, and even though I couldn't possibly hope to remember all their names, I remember a photograph, a poem, a sound, a joke, kind words of encouragement. All is not lost.

Hold dear and true friends close to your heart, it matters not where you find them, only that you treat them with love and respect always.
