“Women who say, "Text me when you get home," aren't just asking for reassurance that you've made it to your bed unharmed. It's not only about safety. It's about solidarity. It's about us knowing how unsettling it can feel when you've been surrounded by friends and then are suddenly by yourself again. It's about us understanding that women who are alone get unwanted attention and scrutiny.”

“When I give up, that is when Milena will die. Then there will be no going back, then we will never text each other again, never get together for lunch to plan the summer's mountain hike, never meet at Stockholm's central station to catch the train, heading for our adventure... At that moment Milena, my wonderful friend, will come a part of my past. And that is unbearable.”

“The artist would remember being fourteen as feeling like he was always homesick, because he realized as an adult that that was what the emptiness in his chest was: some of us are born in the wrong place, the whole of our childhood is like being shipwrecked on a dessert island, we ache with homesickness without knowing what home is yet. That's all childhood friends are, people stuck on the same island. If you find a single one of them, you can cope with almost anything.”

“Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought nor sold, But its value is far greater Than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold & lifeless - It can neither see nor hear, In time of trouble its powerless to cheer - It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand, It cannot bring you comfort Or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, Be thankful if he sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches But the love of real true friends”
