“A friend is what the heart needs all the time.”
“... a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.”
“You don't need time to know what's in your heart”
“We need books...because we are all, in the private kingdoms of our hearts, desperate for the company of a wise, true friend.”
“What you are is a complicated girl with simple needs. You need your books and time to read, and you need a few friends and you need someone-not to take care of you, but to care for you. If you have all those things, you'll always be alright.”
