“Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that's just something you are. [But] I do pick you. We've been friends too long to pick, but if we could pick, I'd pick you.”
“But with friendship, there's nothing like that. Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that's just something you are.”
“You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see. You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. You are the sum of your influences. The German writer Goethe said, "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”
“It’s not just picking the right friends. It is being the right friend.”
“You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends off on a saddle.”
“Friends are just family you get to pick out.”
