Famous quotes containing the word friendships:
“Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about him—or if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, he’s all right, and you don’t 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 Children’s Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
“A man’s friendships are, like his will, invalidated by marriage—but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
