“Yet friendship, I believe, is essential to intellectuals. It is probably the growth hormone the mind requires as it begins its activity of producing and exchanging ideas. You can date the evolving life of a mind, like the age of a tree, by the rings of friendship formed by the expanding central trunk. In the course of my history, not love or marriage so much as friendship has promoted growth.” MindBelieveIdeasAgeCoursesI BelieveGrowthFriendshipTreeActivityEssentialsRingsEvolveExpandingHormonesTrunksExchangingGrowth HormonesExchanging Ideas Author:Mary McCarthy

“Peace is the most covetable possession on the earth. It is the greatest treasure in all the universe. Peace is the most important and indispensable factor for all growth and development.
