"The lust and attraction are often a given in a romance novel - I want to dig into the elements of true friendship that form a foundation for a solid, gonna-last-forever romantic relationship."

"Sustaining true friendship is a lot more challenging than we give it credit for."

"True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together."

"Nerd life is just so much better than regular life."

"I don't believe in the school of hard knocks, although I've had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger is so not true. Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity."

"If you have one true friend you have more than your share."

"Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

"As a composer and as a musician I'm a true believer - and this is not to be overly diplomatic - I'm a believer that there's artistry in everything from a lawn gnome to a desk chair to a symphony to an Andy Warhol painting. There's art in absolutely everything."

"True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation."

"The mind is a powerful thing. It can take you through walls."

"Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times."

"Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake."

"I'm about to make a wild, extreme and severe relationship rule: the word busy is a load of crap and is most often used by assholes. The word "busy"is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact in every silo you uncover, all you're going to find is a man who didn't care enough to call. Remember men are never to busy to get what they want."

"Genuine and true love is so rare that when you encounter it in any form, it's a wonderful thing, to be utterly cherished in whatever form it takes."

"Your true friends echo your own philosophies back at you."

"I bet you could sometimes find all the mysteries of the universe in someone's hand."

"Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love."

"True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does."

"Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them."
