    “Sometimes, when you arrive somewhere, it’s a good idea to pretend you can’t find the person you’re meeting, even if you’re looking right at them. I can’t really explain why, but it sets up a good power dynamic between you and your friends. Also, approaching large groups of people alone is not cute.”
    Babe Walker, Psychos: A White Girl Problems Book

Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
    Fred Rogers

    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson , Essays, First Series

    J.M. Darhower
    “Colpo di fulmine. The thunderbolt, as Italians call it. When love strikes someone like lightning, so powerful and intense it can’t be denied. It’s beautiful and messy,
    cracking a chest open and spilling their soul out for the world to see. It turns a person inside out, and there’s no going back from it. Once the thunderbolt hits, your life is
    irrevocably changed.”
    J.M. Darhower, Sempre

    the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.”
    Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

    Susanna Kaysen
    “Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is… Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever. They were not perfect, but they were my friends.”
    Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

  • #23
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays, First Series

  • #24
    Vera Nazarian
    “Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.

    Best friends are formed by time.

    Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone.

    If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's when the things you do together no longer feel right.

    However, sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all.

    Stick around long enough to become someone's best friend.”
    Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

    Jeanette Winterson
    “Time that withers you will wither me. We will fall like ripe fruit and roll down the grass together. Dear friend, let me lie beside you watching the clouds until the earth covers us and we are gone.”
    Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body
