Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
