friendships

It's in a can. It's good forever.

Hypocrisy is when you get mad at a friend for telling their other friend a secret that your other friend told you.

Don't focus on who let you down. Appreciate who lifted you up. Don't focus on who darkened your days. Appreciate who brightened them.

I find there are usually no extremes in relationships, even friendship. One is not always right or never wrong.

I need a friend and you seemed nicest. I think you and I can have more fun than those fake people on the other side.

Cousin Jimmy thinks I did perfectly right. Cousin Jimmy would think I had done perfectly right if I had murdered Andrew and buried him in the Land of Uprightness. It's very nice to have one friend like that, though too many wouldn't be good for you.

Friendship is a sacred thing and I do not extend the word lightly. I've had long-term romances in my life but few genuine friendships. I am exceedingly picky about who I let in my inner circle and because of that I have a few friends and many acquaintances.

If a friend to me is friend to all then a friend to all is not a friend to me.

I__e known her long enough to know that this was purely intentional._ He peered sideways at me, judging my reaction. __ like her just fine, but you should watch yourself around her. Tennyson is given to obsession, and her obsessions tend to run toward trouble. It__ kind of a Wyoming thing to push the whole __ild West_ routine to its limits.

Wouldn't you like to be my lord Duke of Exeter? Come on, Dom. Say something.""You have lost your mind.""Say something less insulting.

Unfortunately we do treat others as we treat ourselves. We should try being genuinely kind to ourselves first and the rest will come naturally, like an 18-kt. Golden Rule._ _ Erica Goros, The Daisy Chain

To lose a worthless friend is worthy of a testimony.

Why would anyone want perfection when growth comes from flaws?

In the twenty-first century, the visions of J.C. Nichols and Walt Disney have come full circle and joined. __eighborhoods_ are increasingly __evelopments,_ corporate theme parks. But corporations aren__ interested in the messy ebb and flow of humanity. They want stability and predictable rates of return. And although racial discrimination is no longer a stated policy for real estate brokers and developers, racial and social homogeneity are still firmly embedded in America__ collective idea of stability; that__ what our new landlords are thinking even if they are not saying it.

I find that love is confusing, lust is always definitive.

The mind of man can only teach what he has learned from others. It is how you use that knowledge that will decide who you are.

Well, everyone has a friend who holds a very special place in his life. Talking about men_a friend whom you love unconditionally and selflessly.....a friend who knows every secret of your life and who is always the first person whom you want to call when you are in some mess_a friend who tells you exactly what you want to hear. Ena was such a friend to me. My best friend _ if that defines the zenith of good friendship. I would rather say, there is no definition of friendship that we shared with each other, the more I explain it, the more complicated it becomes to recite the aspects of our relationship.She was that closer a friend to me, who knew all the nitty-gritties of my life_from every girl who ever came into my life, to passwords of my email accounts or public profiles. Absolutely everything! She was the only girl on earth I trusted blindly and cared for, truly and unconditionally. She was the only girl who could actually make me dance to her beats. We shared that deeper relationship with each other.

Friendship isn't measured in days, months or years, it's measured in the way someone makes you feel.
