The tempest descended and we fell out.
(O the walking is nasty bad!)
Armit Huff Bettle”

“Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.”

They're not just friends; they're the keepers of sanity and partners in crime”

When a love affair ends, the tree is torn out quickly, the operation painful but clean. Friendship withers quietly, there is always hope of revival. Only after time has passed do you recognise that it is dead, and you are left, for years afterwards, pulling dry brown fibres from your chest.”

A warm embrace when in despair.
A loving presence waiting there
to lift a heart, its burdens bear.

A smile ’mid laughs as light as air,
and thoughtfulness most kind and rare.”
