Famous quotes containing the word friendships:
“Then if my friendships break and bend,
Theres little need to cry
The while I know that every foe
Is faithful till I die.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
“A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about himor if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, hes all right, and you dont really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.”
—Anonymous Fifteen-Year-Old Boy. As quoted in Childrens Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
“Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions, because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fibre of the human heart. The laws of friendship are austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and of morals.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
