“When a friend leaves you, you move on. When a best friend leaves you, part of you is gone”

“When you leave a place, it's best to leave.”

“Remember, friends help you move. Good friends help you move a body. Best friends bring their own shovel...”

“Guilt is a good friend, isn't it? It will stand at your back when every other friend has abandoned you, and in the face of all reason it will stay by your side, and even when you tell it, "I am moving on now," it will say, "I shall never leave you; never." If only I could find a lover as faithful as guilt.”

“The thing is, that when you're young, you always think you'll meet all sorts of wonderful people, that drifting apart and losing friends is natural. You don't worry, at first, about the friends you leave behind. But as you get older, it gets harder to build friendships. Too many defenses, too little opportunity. You get busy. And by the time you realize that you've lost the dearest best friend you've ever had, years have gone by and you're mature enough to be embarrassed by your attitude and, frankly, by your arrogance.”

“You know when I told you the joke about how a friend will help you move, but a real friend will help you move a body? I was only kidding.”
