Closer

Famous quotes containing the word closer:

“If you expect complete honesty, you’ll be disappointed. And don’t expect gratitude for your parenting efforts. Do expect that you’ll feel like you’re on a yo-yo—intimate with your child one day, distant the next. As long as she’s safe, don’t invade her world.

—Ron Taffel (20th century)

“Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 18:24.

—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
