A right little, tight little Island!”

“There is a mortifying experience in particular, which does not fail to wreak itself also in the general history; I mean the foolish face of praise, the forced smile which we put on in company where we do not feel at ease, in answer to conversation which does not interest us. The muscles, not spontaneously moved but moved, by a low usurping wilfulness, grow tight about the outline of the face, with the most disagreeable sensation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about himor if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, hes all right, and you dont really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.”
—Anonymous Fifteen-Year-Old Boy. As quoted in Childrens Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
