“Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being, just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house, or a rose garden out in the side yard... having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well... a lover and friends who support the ciatura in you... these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows.”
“Remain true to yourself, child. If you know your own heart, you will always have one friend who does not lie.”
“You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”
“It is as easy to find a lover as to keep a friend, but as hard to find a friend as to keep a lover.”
“Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time.”
“... to have a lover and friend in one was the best love of all.”
