Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which strengthens with the setting sun of life.
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
