Anaïs Nin:
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Aristotle:
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Audre Lorde:
The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.
Ben Jonson:
True friendship consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value.
C.S. Lewis:
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You, too? Thought I was the only one.”
Deng Ming-Dao:
Those truly linked don’t need correspondence. When they meet again after many years apart, Their friendship is as true as ever.
E. B. White:
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.
Charlotte, “Charlotte’s Web”
M. Forster:
One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life.
Eleanor Roosevelt:
Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world.
Elie Wiesel:
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand.
