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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
