Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
