"Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies."

"The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden."

"They'll say you are bador perhaps you are mador at least you should stay undercover.Your mind must be bareif you would dareto think you can love more than one lover."

"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over."

"So long as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend."

"Best friends are treasures. Hug them for their caring. Applaud their accomplishments. Laugh with them gratefully."

"Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment."

"Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"

"My head’ll explode if I continue with this escapism."

"The most intriguing people you will encounter in this life are the people who had insights about you, that you didn't know about yourself."

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give values to survival."

"It's much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody."

"But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people--first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy."

"I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and “transformed” her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better?"
