Euripides

“It is the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.”

Marlene Dietrich

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”

Gloria Naylor

“There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.”

Diana Cortes

“Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings.”

Miles Franklin

“It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.”

Epicurus

“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”

William James

“The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
