“ليملأ كل منكما كأس الآخر ولكن لا تشربا من كأس واحده
تقاسما الخبز ولكن لا تأكلا من رغيف واحد
غنوا وارقصوا معا وأفرحوا ولا يفسد زوج عزلة زوجه
كأوتاد العود، ناء بعضها عن بعض لكنها ترتعش في لحنِ واحد”

“Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.”

“The very condition of having Friends is that we should want something else besides Friends. Where the truthful answer to the question "Do you see the same truth?" would be "I see nothing and I don't care about the truth; I only want a Friend," no Friendship can arise - though Affection of course may. There would be nothing for the Friendship to be about; and Friendship must be about something, even if it were only an enthusiasm for dominoes or white mice. Those who have nothing can share nothing; those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.”
