A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house-do not pass by like a dream.
