True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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