Famous quotes containing the word close:
“The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I now thinke, Love is rather deafe, than blind,
For else it could not be,
That she,
Whom I adore so much, should so slight me,
And cast my love behind:
Im sure my language to her, was as sweet,
And every close did meet
In sentence, of as subtile feet,
As hath the youngest Hee,”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“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)
