“The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.”

“I knew that part of friendship consisted in accepting a friend’s shortcomings, which sometimes included his parents.”

“...in his heart of hearts he could almost wish that, when he was grown up, his life should consist of nothing but nonsense: just music, love, literature, carefree friendship, a life brimming with glorious, intoxicating Olympian nonsense.”

“Adventure in life is good; consistency in coffee even better.”

“Conversations consist for the most part of things one does not say.”

“The purpose of journeying together in spiritual friendship and spiritual community (whether there are just two of you or whether you are in a small group) is to listen to one another's desire for God, to nurture that desire in each other and to support one another in seeking a way of life that is consistent with that desire. ”
