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

“I cannot help feeling there is something essentially wrong about love. Friends may quarrel or drift apart, close relations too, but there is not this pang, this pathos, this fatality which clings to love. Friendship never has that doomed look. Why, what is the matter?

Man is the creature who cannot escape from himself, who knows other people only in himself, and when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.”

“Whenever you feel ‘short’ or in ‘need’ of something, give what you want first and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love, friendship.

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”

“I sing your restless longing for the statue, your fear of the feelings that await you in the street. I sing the small sea siren who sings to you, riding her bicycle of corals and conches. But above all I sing a common thought that joins us in the dark and golden hours. The light that blinds our eyes is not art. Rather it is love, friendship, crossed swords.”

“A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.”

“A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.”

“In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.”

“The real test of friendship is can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”
