to find the ones worth suffering for.”

Bob Marley
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives
mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving
advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our
wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a
moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and
bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face
with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”

“Friendship is
unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it
is one of those things which give value to survival.”

“Promise me
you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you
seem, and smarter than you think.” “Silence make the real conversations between
friends. Not the saying, but the never needing to say that counts.”
