“This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance.”

“Friendship is love as much as any romance. And like any love, it’s difficult and treacherous and confusing. But in the moment when your knees touch, there’s nothing else you could ever want.”

“In romance or friendship, what's important is how much you love the other person."- Gackt”

“With the exception of love, friendship and the beauty of art, I don't see much else that can nurture human life.”

“There was no short answer to this; like so much else, it was a long story. But what really makes any story real is knowing someone will hear it. And understand.”

“Without compassion, we will never know anyone or anything, not even our own story. Too much judgment, too many ideas and attitudes will stand in the way of the fundamental principle that we are similar to, connected with, and part of everything else.”
