Friendship Quotes

“When the only bond between close friends is attachment, then even a minor issue may cause one's projections to change.

It is possible to have compassion without attachment, and similarly, to have anger without hatred.”

“When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.”

“Your life experience will never far exceed the expectations of your peers, because to stay connected to them there is an unconscious contract that says we're going to be within this range of each other.
