In high school, I think Tristan had a bumper sticker that read:
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS
Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
-Jane Austen
My Russian father had an opinion about everything:
Tell me who your friends are, Miss Kathleen, and I'll tell you who you are.
Two from Ralph Waldo Emerson that I quite like:
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
I'm sure it's not original, but a girl I knew a long time ago talked a hell of a lot, and what I remembered from all that pointless chatter was this phrase that I still use today:
Boys may come and go, but your friends are forever.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
- Martin Luther King Jr.
In thinking of Oscar Wilde and his ideas that true friends "stab you in the front," I also know that, in my world, all things lead back to Frasier...
At the opening of his new restaurant after his chef and cooking staff have walked out on him, Gil Chesterton, the food critic at Frasier's radio station walks in with five people:
"Hello, Frasier. I heard about your new restaurant and I decided to stop by. I've brought a whole table of food critics with me."
"Um, Gil, I thought you never reviewed on opening night?"
"You're my friend. I made an exception."
Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
- Elbert Hubard
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.
- C. S. Lewis
To be continued...
