“Have friends, not for the sake of receiving, but of giving.”
“All my friends and relatives have always taken a condescending tone to my writing, and never ceased urging me in a friendly way not to give up real work for the sake of scribbling.”
“Friendship is special because it is freely chosen. Our friends want us as their friend for our own sake. No other relationship, either professional or kinship, can give what friendship gives.”
“Even with friends, I had difficulty giving or receiving physical affection, although I secretly craved it.”
“A friend...risks her friendship for the sake of her friend.”
“The justice I have received, I shall give back.”
