Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
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 like a glass ornament, once it is broken, it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.

Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.
