“Tell me, where in life is there a value that would make us consider suicide uncalled for on principle! Love? Or friendship? I guarantee that friendship is not a bit less fickle than love and it is impossible to build anything on it. Self-love? I wish it were possible.”
“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”
“Friendship is higher than love. Sometimes, it's less glamorous, or less passionate, but it's deeper and kind of wiser, I think.”
“If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love our friends for their sakes rather than for our own.”
“How rare true love maybe, it is less so than true friendship.”
“However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.”
