"Treat your friend as a spectacle...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You need someone who can inspire you to be what you know you can be”

“The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.”

“You must hear the birds song without attempting to render it into nouns and verbs.”

“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”

“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”

“Sometimes we lose friends for whose loss our regret is greater than our grief, and others for whom our grief is greater than our regret.”

“People tend to become what the most important people in their lives think they will become.”

“This was the price you paid for sleeping together. This was the end of the trap. This was what people got for loving each other.”

“We feasted on love; every mode of it, solemn and merry, romantic and realistic, sometimes as dramatic as a thunderstorm, sometimes comfortable and unemphatic as putting on your soft slippers. She was my pupil and my teacher, my subject and my sovereign, my trusty comrade, friends, shipmate, fellow-soldier. My mistress, but at the same time all that any man friend has ever been to me.”
