“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” Elbert Hubbard
“You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which
side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have
treasured our life together.”
Nicholas Sparks
“How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How
many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good
inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a
friend? Depends how much you give 'em.”
Shel Silverstein
“When the two people who thus discover that they are on the same secret
road are of different sexes, the friendship which arises between them
will very easily pass – may pass in the first half hour – into erotic
love. Indeed, unless they are physically repulsive to each other or
unless one or both already loves elsewhere, it is almost certain to do
so sooner or later. And conversely, erotic love may lead to Friendship
between the lovers. But this, so far from obliterating the distinction
between the two loves, puts it in a clearer light. If one who was first,
in the deep and full sense, your Friend, is then gradually or suddenly
revealed as also your lover you will certainly not want to share the
Beloved’s erotic love with any third. But you will have no jealousy at
all about sharing the Friendship. Nothing so enriches an erotic love as
the discovery that the Beloved can deeply, truly and spontaneously enter
into Friendship with the Friends you already had; to feel that not only
are we two united by erotic love but we three or four or five are all
travelers on the same quest, have all a common vision.” C.S. Lewis
“V-Day…if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you
truly care for “your loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this
commercialism. It’s all artificial, and has nothing to do with real
love.”
Jess C. Scott
“So when you're cold
From the inside out
And don't know what to do,
Remember love and friendship,
And warmth will come to you.”
From the inside out
And don't know what to do,
Remember love and friendship,
And warmth will come to you.”
