| Jesse Ball | I probably like being isolated more than many people do, but I'm lucky to have the friendship of many fine people, and they keep me from becoming very isolated.

| Carl Hagelin | I had more friends on my hockey team than I did on my soccer team. I might have been better at soccer, to be honest. But I think it was more the friendship, and my family was more of a hockey family than a soccer family, so when I had to make a decision, I tried hockey, and it turned out to be a good decision. | 103 |

| Sallust | To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship. | 104 |
| St. Jerome | True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks. | 104 |

And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you. | 104 |
| Elizabeth Berkley | I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl. | 104 |
| John Frusciante | For me my friendship with Omar Rodriguez from Mars Volta that friendship really means a lot to me because he's another creative person who works as hard as I do. | 104 |
| John O'Donohue | Most people are enduring a marginalized isolation. One of the great obstacles to modern friendships is the 'religion of rush.' People are rushing all the time through time. Friendship takes time. | 104 |

| Wendi Deng Murdoch | I'm loyal, and I like my friends. Friendship enriches your life and makes it more interesting. | 104 |
| Winnie Holzman | I loved the whole idea, first of all, of what friendship is. Very often, there are people that somehow you don't know how to declare that you are their friend, but you are their friend. That happens in a lot in high school. And outside of high school. | 104 |
| Bruce Cameron | If I'm right, the only reason our species is still around is because of our friendship with the canines. | 104 |
| Emma Bunton | I think the way to keep a friendship is to respect that everybody is different. | 104 |

| Marilyn Hacker | You are almost not free, if you are teaching a group of graduate students, to become friends with one of them. I don't mean anything erotically charged, just a friendship. | 104 |
| Sharon Horgan | I despise shows that present friendship where you're always there for each other and really strong because I don't know anyone like that. I mean, I've got great friends, but I can go months without seeing them because I think, 'I just can't deal with having to give you anything.' | 104 |
| Stephen Pagliuca | I gave Mitt Romney some donations for his campaign because he was a friend, and friendship came first. I've always been a Democrat, and I've had different views than Mitt Romney. I'm not Mitt Romney, and I think people will realize that when they meet me out there. | 104 |
| Laura Riding | Because most people are not sufficiently employed in themselves, they run about loose, hungering for employment, and satisfy themselves in various supererogatory occupations. The easiest of these occupations, which have all to do with making things already made, is the making of people: it is called the art of friendship. | 104 |
| Marie de France | If one of two lovers is loyal, and the other jealous and false, how may their friendship last, for Love is slain! | 104 |

| Alicia Machado | But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost. | 104 |
| Cynthia Breazeal | I do think, in time, people will have, sort of, relationships with certain kinds of robots - not every robot, but certain kinds of robots - where they might feel that it is a sort of friendship, but it's going to be of a robot-human kind. | 104 |

| Jean Cocteau | I have lost my seven best friends, which is to say God has had mercy on me seven times without realizing it. He lent a friendship, took it from me, sent me another. | 105 |
| Lysander Spooner | A traitor is a betrayer - one who practices injury, while professing friendship. Benedict Arnold was a traitor, solely because, while professing friendship for the American cause, he attempted to injure it. An open enemy, however criminal in other respects, is no traitor. | 105 |
| Paul Simon | I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work. | 105 |

| Margaret Cavendish | And though my Lord hath lost his estate and been banished out of his country, yet neither despised poverty nor pinching necessity could make him break the bonds of friendship or weaken his loyal duty. | 105 |
| Rob Reiner | When I read 'Stand By Me,' it was like, 'This is a look back at the same time period when I was growing up, and it was about kids, but it really felt like what it was like to have those powerful feelings of friendship at age 12.' That's what got to me. | 105 |

| James Whistler | The rare few, who, early in life have rid themselves of the friendship of the many. | 105 |
| Marcelene Cox | One sure way to lose another woman's friendship is to try to improve her flower arrangements. | 105 |
| Jeff Ross | People are roasting each other at parties, at work events, around the fire. It's so fun. People are busting each other's chops, and it's a sign of affection, truly. It's a true test of love and friendship: can you make a man laugh at himself? So what makes a good burn? Go after targets you love and respect. And hit 'em hard. | 105 |
| Juan Antonio Samaranch | Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding. | 105 |
| Aristotle | My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake. | 106 |

| Elbert Hubbard | Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway. | 106 |
| Jane Austen | Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love. | 106 |
| Deborah Sampson | November 11, 1802, I arrived at Judge Patterson's at Lisle. This respectable family treated me with every mark of distinction and friendship, and likewise all the people did the same. I really want for words to express my gratitude. | 106 |
| Irvin D. Yalom | I'm a compulsive reader of fiction. I fell in love with novels when I was a teenager. My wife Marilyn and I... our initial friendship began because we are both readers. I've gone to sleep almost every night of my life after having read in a novel for 30 or 40 minutes. I'm a great reader of fiction and much less so of non-fiction. | 106 |
| Jean de la Bruyere | Love and friendship exclude each other. | 106 |
| Jennifer Aniston | Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting?

| Katherine Mansfield | I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing. | 106 |
| Lynn Coady | There was a time when I thought dudes had friendship all figured out. The focus on eating things in front of giant screens, pretending to punch one another, competing over who can utter the grossest and most profane personal insults imaginable - this struck me as the very apex of human social exchange. | 106 |
| Pietro Aretino | I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship. | 106 |

| Debra Messing | I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace's isn't such a stretch. | 106 |
| Jimmy Chin | A lot of why I climb is for the friendship, the loyalty and trust, the shared experience of being in that moment. | 106 |

| Richard Lugar | I would like to raise my glass to friendship between Russia and the United States. | 106 |
| Chris Raschka | Whether it's music, loss of something, loneliness or friendship - if that emotion is heightened in some way and painted to fit in between the covers of 32 pages, that can become a picture book. | 106 |
| Sebastian Faulks | I think closeness to death would be pretty exhilarating in a way, and friendship, yeh, and selflessness, a kind of selflessness, a sense of your own worthlessness, I think, is pretty exhilarating. | 106 |
| Armistead Maupin | The film itself involves a New York City radio storyteller, Gabriel Noone, who strikes up a friendship with one of his fans, an abused 14-year-old teenager who is suffering from AIDS, who does not have much longer to live. | 106 |
| Diane English | I don't think it's more important to preserve female friendship than a marriage. But I think that there's a place for female friendship that's really important in the lives of all the women I know. As I've gotten older, it's become much more important to me. | 106 |
| Mohammed Morsi | The most important thing for me is to have real friendship between Egyptians and Americans. | 106 |
| Ali Abdullah Saleh | French Yemeni relations are strong and good, they are relations depending on friendship and cooperation; my relationship with the president Chiraq are old and real. | 106 |
| August Strindberg | Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view. | 106 |
| Jason Dolley | I think faith helps me a lot. God wants you to be where He wants you to be, and that's where I want to be. If I do not get a part, I understand that maybe I needed to be home at that time, maybe in school; there's always a reason. My faith is also where my core friends are, at my church, a faith-based friendship. | 106 |
| George Santayana | One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human. | 107 |

| Chanakya | Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness. | 107 |
| Dennis Prager | Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example? | 107 |
| Alain de Botton | The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can't accept that. | 107 |
| Amy Grant | Faith is salted and peppered through everything at Christmas. And I love at least one night by the Christmas tree to sing and feel the quiet holiness of that time that's set apart to celebrate love, friendship, and God's gift of the Christ child. | 107 |
| Charles de Lint | Often the magical elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world, the small and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no longer pay attention to, like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own lives with those of other people and places. | 107 |
| George Foreman | Forgiveness is that subtle thread that binds both love and friendship. Without forgiveness, you may not even have a child one day. | 107 |
| Hill Harper | You can't build anything with a flimsy foundation. Friendship is the foundation. | 107 |
| Jena Malone | A lot of the powerful religious leaders, from Jesus to Buddha to Tibetan monks, they're really talking about the same things: love and acceptable, and the value of friendship, and respecting yourself so you can respect others. | 107 |
| Martin Seligman | On the relationship side, if you teach people to respond actively and constructively when someone they care about has a victory, it increases love and friendship and decreases the probability of depression. | 107 |
| Ram Dass | We come into relationships often very much identified with our needs. I need this, I need security, I need refuge, I need friendship. And all of relationships are symbiotic in that sense. We come together because we fulfill each others' needs at some level or other. | 107 |
| Sallust | All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike, friendship, anger or pity. | 107 |
| Hu Jintao | China has been committed to the independent foreign policy of peace and has developed friendship and cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. | 107 |
| Jerry Lewis | I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life. | 107 |
| Amity Shlaes | Anything can be done if you find friends to do it with. The lucky biographers find themselves drawn into a sort of friendship with their subject. | 107 |
| Jonathan Edwards | Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious. | 107 |
| Bradley Chicho | The friendship we share grows amidst the craggy rock pond; reeds of water spray fireflies scented with bonfires. | 107 |
| Jane Green | Going through an illness and then death of a close friend has changed my attitudes to friendship enormously. | 107 |
| Jamie Campbell Bower | I went to boarding school in the country, so there's no real differentiation between family and friends. I went there from when I was 8 until I was 17 - it was insane. If you earn my friendship, you are my family, and I'll do anything for you. | 107 |
| Major Taylor | In closing I wish to say that while I was sorely beset by a number of white riders in my racing days, I have also enjoyed the friendship of countless thousands of white men whom I class as among my closest friends. | 107 |

| Oscar Wilde | True friends stab you in the front. | 108 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. | 108 |

| Michel de Montaigne | If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love. | 108 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise. | 108 |
| Alice Walker | No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. | 108 |
| Cornelius Vanderbilt | There is no friendship in trade. | 108 |
| Emily Bronte | Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly? | 108 |

| Samuel Taylor Coleridge | Friendship is a sheltering tree. | 108 |

| Austin O'Malley | Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces. | 108 |

| Jeff Lemire | To me, Green Arrow in the past, what people loved about Oliver Queen pre-New 52 was his relationships with other heroes. Like his friendship with Green Lantern, his animosity with Hawkman, his romance with Black Canary - these are all the things that sort of defined him. | 108 |
| Ron Funches | I think I'd probably be really good friends with Hulk Hogan. I think we'd get along, and I'd, like, chill him out because he'd be all rambunctious and rowdy, and I'd be like, 'Chill out, Hulk Hogan. Everything will be okay.' And he'd be like, 'Thanks, Ron.' And then we'd form a friendship. | 108 |
| Atifete Jahjaga | The ideal of all Kosovo is membership in the E.U. and a permanent friendship with the United States. I believe and I am convinced our dreams will come true. | 108 |

| Charles Caleb Colton | Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never. | 109 |
| E. W. Howe | When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. | 109 |
| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error. | 109 |
| Enrique Iglesias | My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness. | 109 |
| George MacDonald | If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. | 109 |
| Kenny Rogers | There has to be chemistry in a duet, but if you go beyond the point of friendship and attraction, you lose something. | 109 |
| Nir Eyal | If the food of friendship is time together, how do we make the time to ensure we're all fed? My friends and I have recently come across a way to keep each other close. It fits into our lifestyles despite busy schedules and a surfeit of children. We call it the 'kibbutz.' | 109 |
| Oliver Goldsmith | Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves. | 109 |
| Recep Tayyip Erdogan | It is impossible to preserve my friendship with people who are allegedly leaders when they are attacking their own people, shooting at them, using tanks and other forms of heavy weaponry. | 109 |
| Steven Van Zandt | Rock n' roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community. | 109 |
| Victoria Justice | If you're going through friendship issues, I would say, first of all take a step back. How important is the friendship to you? Sometimes, if someone's not being a good friend to you and isn't treating you the way you should be treated, then you kind of have to move on sometimes. | 109 |
| Amos Bronson Alcott | Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly. | 109 |

| Eamon de Valera | The part which American friendship played in helping us to win the freedom we enjoy in this part of Ireland has been gratefully recognized and acknowledged by our people. | 109 |
| Joel Edgerton | I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me. | 109 |
| Stefanie Powers | I don't need to go onto Facebook and pretend to have friends I've never even met. To my mind, that kind of destroys the meaning of the word 'friend.' I take exception to that. Because I value and respect friendship. | 109 |
| Tom Lehrer | My last public performance for money was in 1967. For free, it was 1972, with the exception of two little one-shot, one-song things. But that's just for friends, out of friendship for the people involved, and also because it was fun. | 109 |

| Saint Teresa of Avila | For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God. | 112 |
| Fiona Apple | Life is all about the friendship and the love and the music. It sounds silly, but it is.

If anyone gets in my way, I'm going to get them out of my way. | 112 |

| George Jean Nathan | Love demands infinitely less than friendship. | 113 |
| Hanya Yanagihara | In a basic sense, 'A Little Life' is a homage to how my friends and I live our lives. I wanted to push past the definitions of how we typically define friendship.

And I like you and I don't want to compromise our friendship.' | 115 |

| Greg Graffin | In the family, in interpersonal relationships, even in friendship, faith is tremendously important.

| Stendhal | Friendship has its illusions no less than love. | 123 |

| Nathaniel Hawthorne | Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature. | 124 |
| Regina Brett | I usually give a book 40 pages. If it doesn't grab me by then, adios. With young adult books, you can usually tell by Page 4 if it's worth the time.

| Julian Casablancas | A band is a good way to break up a friendship. | 124 |

| Sophocles | You win the victory when you yield to friends. | 204 |
| Lynn Davies | I believe the friendship of the Games still exists.

| H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Acquaintances we meet, enjoy, and can easily leave behind; but friendship grows deep roots. | 205 |
