Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Lotta people don't realize when you grow up with people, you have an affinity, a relationship you don't get with anyone else. After you're twenty years old, anyone you meet after that, it's different from the people you knew before.
I don't know [what things are forever]. Friendship. I can think of lots of things.
Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.
Even divorce, she thought, cannot erase all the bonds forged by years of marriage. Long after the papers are signed, decrees notarized, the ties still remain. And the most powerful tie of all is written in a child's flesh and blood.
Nature has concatenated our fortunes and affections together with indissoluble bands of mutual sympathy.
Some people are your family no matter when you find them, and some people are not, even if you are laid, still wet and crumpled, in their arms.
