A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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