“It’s sad when friends become enemies. But what’s even worse is when they become strangers.”
“We had been friends. We could not become strangers. It left only one thing: we must be enemies.”
“Sometimes when we least expect it, a small cross proves a lovely crown, a seemingly unimportant event becomes a lifelong experience, or a stranger becomes a friend”
“Now they were as strangers; worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.”
“If you know your enemy as you know your friend," her mother had said when she gave Mei the book, "then there is hope your enemy will become your friend.”
