Henry Fielding, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

For I hope my Friends will pardon me, when I declare, I know none of them without a Fault; and I should be sorry if I could imagine, I had any Friend who could not see mine. Forgiveness, of this Kind, we give and demand in Turn.

Jeanne DuPrau, The People of Sparks

Now Doon seemed to care for his new friends more than he did for her. Every time she thought about him she felt a thud of pain, like a bruised place inside her.

Craig Ferguson, American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot

Ros was dead.

He had loved heroin more than it loved him. I was shocked beyond imagining; he was the first of my friends to fall.

Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

As they embrace, she kisses him full on the mouth. And suddenly sticks her tongue right in. She has done this before, often. It’s one of those drunken long shots which just might, at least theoretically, once in ten thousand tries, throw a relationship right out of its orbit and send it whizzing off on another. Do women ever stop trying? No. But, because they never stop, they learn to be good losers.

Life Quotes And Sayings by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

Raquel Cepeda, Bird of Paradise: How I Became Latina

I have never bought into the idea that blood is thicker than water. Love and respect are meant to be earned from our children, our spouses, our families, and our friends.

Annette Curtis Klause, Blood and Chocolate

The Amoeba?" she asked Aiden.
"The gang," he said, tossing his hand to indicate all around. "My
people. A large amorphous mass that keeps on changing size, hasn't
much apparent use, sometimes makes you sick, and occasionally breaks
off into smaller parts that act exactly like the parent.

Brian Jacques, Taggerung

Where's the point in fighting and slaying if you can make a friend out of anybeast instead of a foe?

Doris Lessing, The Old Age of El Magnifico

What a luxury a cat is, the moments of shocking and startling pleasure in a day, the feel of the beast, the soft sleekness under your palm, the warmth when you wake on a cold night, the grace and charm even in a quite ordinary workaday puss. Cat walks across your room, and in that lonely stalk you see leopard or even panther, or it turns its head to acknowledge you and the yellow blaze of those eyes tells you what an exotic visitor you have here, in this household friend, the cat who purrs as you stroke, or rub his chin, or scratch his head.

Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful…

Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

What’s so phony nowadays is all this familiarity. Pretending there isn’t any difference between people —well, like you were saying about minorities, this morning. If you and I are no different, what do we have to give each other? How can we ever be friends?

Life Quotes And Sayings by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

I have unclasp'd to thee the book even of my secret soul.

Life Quotes And Sayings by William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

Randy Murray

A writer is a dangerous friend. Everything you say, all of your life and experience, is fodder for our writing. We mean you no harm, but what you know and what you’ve done is unavoidably fascinating to us. Being friends with a writer is a bit like trying to keep a bear as a pet. They’re wonderful, friendly creatures, but they play rough and they don’t know their own strength or remember that they have claws. Choose the stories you tell to your writer friends carefully.

Life Quotes And Sayings by Randy Murray

C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

The Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. IT is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of all the others. They are no greater than the beauties of a thousand other men; by Friendship God opens our eyes to them. They are, like all beauties, derived from Him, and then, in a good Friendship, increased by Him through the Friendship itself, so that it is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing. At this feast it is he who has spread the board and it is He who has chosen the guests. It is He, we may dare to hope, who sometimes does, and always should, preside. Let us not reckon without our Host.

مصطفى محمود, يوميات نص الليل

الصديقان النموذجيان كما زوج من القنافذ,يتعاطفان,و يتعاونان و يتلازمان,و لكن لا يذوبان فى يعضهما لأن كل واحد له درقة من الأشواك تحميه من أن يقتحم عليه الاّخر خصوصيته و سريته و ينتهك وحدانية نفسه و قدسية استقلاله.

Life Quotes And Sayings by مصطفى محمود, يوميات نص الليل

Brandon Sanderson, The Alloy of Law

Wayne: You wanna know why I really came to find you?

Waxilliam: Why?

Wayne: I thought of you happy in a comfy bed, resting and relaxing, spending the rest of your life sipping tea and reading papers while people bring you food and maids rub your toes and stuff.

Waxilliam: And?

Wayne: And I just couldn't leave you to a fate like that...I'm too good a friend to let a mate of mine die in such a terrible situation.

Waxilliam: Comfortable?

Wayne: No. Boring.

Life Quotes And Sayings by Brandon Sanderson, The Alloy of Law

Chloe Rattray, Sacré Noir

When you meet an extraordinary person, it’s like they get inside you, under your ribs, and shuffle everything inside you around until they find space for greatness to grow. But extraordinary people always get away. And when they leave, they take that little part of you with them. Suddenly you find yourself with a gap in your chest that you don’t know how to live with. Suddenly you’re frightened of being yourself without them.

Life Quotes And Sayings by Chloe Rattray, Sacré Noir

Michel de Montaigne

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

Life Quotes And Sayings by Michel de Montaigne

Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Nothing gives you confidence like being a member of a small, weirdly specific, hard-to-find demographic.

Never hold resentments for the person who tells you what you need to hear; count them among your truest, most caring, and valuable friends.

David Gemmell, Fall of Kings

I was a man before I was a king, and no true man walks away when a friend needs him.

Life Quotes And Sayings by David Gemmell, Fall of Kings

Alice Hoffman, Local Girls

Jill and I have known each other our whole lives. One house separates our houses but we act as if it doesn't exist. We met before we were born and we'll probably still know each other after we die. At least, that's the way we're planning it.

Alina Baker

We can't choose our blood, but we can choose those who run importance in our lives.

Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

Oh, September! It is so soon for you to lose your friends to good work and strange loves and high ambitions. The sadness of that is too grown-up for you. Like whiskey and voting, it is a dangerous and heady business, as heavy as years. If I could keep your little tribe together forever, I would. I do so want to be generous. But some stories sprout bright vines that tendril off beyond our sight, carrying the folk we love best with them, and if I knew how to accept that with grace, I would share the secret.

That's the way girls are isn't it? They swear eternal friendship, and then as soon as a man's in the case it's all forgotten.

Emily Dickinson, I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

Mine Enemy is growing old --
I have at last Revenge --
The Palate of the Hate departs --
If any would avenge

Let him be quick -- the Viand flits --
It is a faded Meat --
Anger as soon as fed is dead --
'Tis starving makes it fat

Helen Salter, Does Snogging Count as Exercise?

Having friends was really important, wasn't it? Even if sometimes they did stuff which upset you?

Alison Croggon

It is good to dress in fair clothes to dine with friends. It honors your host, if you are a guest; and your guest if you are a host. And both adorn the feast, and so celebrate the gifts of the world.

Jess C. Scott, The Other Side of Life

Anya looked upon Nin admirably. Having him as a partner-in-crime—if only on this one occasion, which she hoped would only be the start of something more—was more revitalizing than the cheap thrills of a cookie-cutter shallow, superficial romance, where the top priority was how beautiful a person was on the outside.

Erma Bombeck

A friend doesn't go on a diet because you are fat.

Henry Adams, The Education of Henry Adams

A new friend is always a miracle, but at thirty-three years old, such a bird of paradise rising in the sage-brush was an avatar. One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly

Count von Platen

True love is deemed to be the most tender of our emotions, as even the blind and deaf know; but I know, what few believe, that true friendship is more tender still.

Milan Kundera, Laughable Loves

Tell me, where in life is there a value that would make us consider suicide uncalled for on principle! Love? Or friendship? I guarantee that friendship is not a bit less fickle than love and it is impossible to build anything on it. Self-love? I wish it were possible.

Spider Robinson, Callahan's Crosstime Saloon

Some guys step on a rake in the dark, and get mad and go punch somebody. Others step on a rake in the dark and fall down laughing at themselves. I know which kind of guy I'd rather be. So do my friends.

Lisa Ann Sandell, Song of the Sparrow

But, I believe," I continue, "I know what true love is - or what it should be."

"What should it be?" Tristan asks, his voice soft now.

"It should be a friendship and truly knowing who a person is, knowing his flaws and hopes and strengths and fears, knowing all of it. And admiring and caring for - loving the person because of those things.

George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

Tyrion let the eunuch help him mount. "Lord Varys," he said from the saddle, "sometimes I feel as though you are the best friend I have in King's Landing and sometimes I feel you are my worst enemy."

"How odd. I think quite the same of you.
