A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. —Grace Pulpit
One doesn’t know, till one is a bit at odds with the world, how much one’s friends who believe in one rather generously, mean to one. —D.H. Lawrence
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. —C.S. Lewis
Constant use will not wear ragged the fabric of friendship. —Dorothy Parker
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends. —Virginia Woolf
There are big ships and small ships. But the best ship of all is friendship.
