“I think it’s when two people separate that the things they’ve learned through their friendship can really blossom. It’s all very well to stand on the sidelines and laugh at women for gossiping, and complaining, and comforting each other in a shallow, superficial way. But who’s to say that the ruthless urge to get at the truth, regardless of whether it breaks the other person’s heart, is more virtuous than phrasing your words carefully, out of consideration for another person? I understand now what a talent it is to show care for other people.”
