I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.

When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

Friendship is a word, the very sight of which in print makes the heart warm.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.

Lay this unto your breast: Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best.

How delightful to find a friend in everyone.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
