Famous quotes containing the word friends:
“My first few weeks in America are always miserable, because the tastes I am cursed with are all of a kind that cannot be gratified here, & I am not enough in sympathy with our “gros public” to make up for the lack on the aesthetic side. One’s friends are delightful; but we are none of us Americans, we don’t think or feel as the Americans do, we are the wretched exotics produced in a European glass-house, the most déplacé & useless class on earth!”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“We easily forgive our friends those faults that do no affect us ourselves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“It’s good for you to see your friends arrested. It hardens you. There’s no place in our New Order for sentimentalists.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
