Philosophical Insights on Friendship
Arundhati Roy
Enemies can't break your spirit, only friends can.
Dan Pearce
Share your weaknesses. Share your hard moments. Share your real side. It'll either scare away every fake person in your life or it will inspire them to finally let go of that mirage called "perfection," which will open the doors to the most important relationships you'll ever be a part of.
E.A. Bucchianeri
An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.
George Bernard Shaw
Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends.
George Eliot
Animals are such agreeable friends―they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
Groucho Marx
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Jody Gehrman
I despise the rituals of fake friendship. I wish we could just claw each other's eyes out and call it a day; instead we put on huge radiant smiles and spout compliments until our teeth hurt from the saccharine sweetness of it all.
Joquesse Eugenia
I no longer have the energy for meaningless friendships, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations. If we don’t vibrate on the same frequency there’s just no reason for us to waste our time. I’d rather have no one and wait for substance than to not feel someone and fake the funk.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
It may... be judged indecent in me to come forward on this occasion; but when I see a fellow-creature about to perish through the cowardice of her pretended friends, I wish to be allowed to speak, that I may say what I know of her character.
Michael Bassey Johnson
Someone who smiles too much with you can sometime frown too much with you at your back.
Miranda July
You always feel like you are the only one in the world, like everyone else is crazy for each other, but it's not true. Generally, people don't like each other very much. And that goes for friends, too.
Neil Gaiman
As sure as water's wet and days are long and a friend will always disappoint you in the end.
Paulo Coelho
Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.
Richard Burton
False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
Sarah J. Maas
...her dearest friends are characters in books.
Sarah Ockler
In your entire life, you can probably count your true friends on one hand. Maybe even on one finger. Those are the friends you need to cherish, and I wouldn't trade one of them for a hundred of the other kind. I'd rather be completely alone than with a bunch of people who aren't real. People who are just passing time.
Seneca
He that visits the sick in hopes of a legacy, but is never so friendly in all other cases, I look upon him as being no better than a raven that watches a weak sheep only to peck out its eyes.
Tom Waits
Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.
