Friendship
Quotes - Relationships are all about trust and equality
“Still,
I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. We're in one, of course,
but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of a
great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards. And
people will say: "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring!" And they will
say: "Yes, that's one of my favourite stories. Frodo was very brave,
wasn't he, dad?" "Yes, my boy, the famousest of the hobbits, and
that's saying a lot."
'It's
saying a lot too much,' said Frodo, and he laughed, a long clear laugh from his
heart. Such a sound had not been heard in those places since Sauron came to
Middle-earth. To Sam suddenly it seemed as if all the stones were listening and
the tall rocks leaning over them. But Frodo did not heed them; he laughed
again. 'Why, Sam,' he said, 'to hear you somehow makes me as merry as if the
story was already written. But you've left out one of the chief characters:
Samwise the stouthearted. "I want to hear more about Sam, dad. Why didn't
they put in more of his talk, dad? That's what I like, it makes me laugh. And
Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam, would he, dad?"'
'Now,
Mr. Frodo,' said Sam, 'you shouldn't make fun. I was serious.'
'So
was I,' said Frodo, 'and so I am.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
“Skye
kissed her forehead. "You saved my life."
Katsa
smiled. "You Lienid are very outward in your affection."
"I'm
going to name my firstborn child after you."
Katsa
laughed at that. "For the child's sake, wait for a girl. Or even better,
wait until all your children are older and give my name to whichever is the
most troublesome and obstinate."
Skye
burst into laughter and hugged her, and Katsa returned his embrace. And
realized that quite without her intending it, her guarded heart had made
another friend.”

“Friends
are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made,
crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true
friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.
Best
friends are formed by time.
Everyone
is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone.
If
the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being
less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's
when the things you do together no longer feel right.
However,
sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all.
Stick
around long enough to become someone's best friend.”

“Friendship

“To
think you could have been dreaming the cure for cancer," Blue said.
"Look, Sargent," Ronan retorted, "I was gonna dream you some eye
cream last night since clearly modern medicine's doing jack shit for you, but I
nearly had my ass handed to me by a death snake from the fourth circle of dream
hell, so you're welcome."
Blue
was appropriately touched. "Ah, thanks, man."
"No
problem, bro.”

Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King
“You
have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has
mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you
have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the
hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to
right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.”

Charles Mackay
“Relationships
are all about trust and equality. If one person shares, then the other person
should share, too.”

Sophie Kinsella , Can You Keep a Secret?
“We
met less than a week ago and in that time I've done nothing but lie and cheat
and betray you. I know. But if you give me a chance...all I want is to protect
you. To be near you. For as long as I'm able.”

“Once
upon a time they was two girls," I say. "one girl had black skin, one
girl had white."
Mae
Mobley look up at me. She listening.
"Little
colored girl say to little white girl, 'How come your skin be so pale?' White
girl say, 'I don't know. How come your skin be so black? What you think that
mean?'
"But
neither one a them little girls knew. So little white girl say, 'Well, let's
see. You got hair, I got hair.'"I gives Mae Mobley a little tousle on her
head.
"Little
colored girl say 'I got a nose, you got a nose.'"I gives her little snout
a tweak. She got to reach up and do the same to me.
"Little
white girl say, 'I got toes, you got toes.' And I do the little thing with her
toes, but she can't get to mine cause I got my white work shoes on.
"'So
we's the same. Just a different color', say that little colored girl. The
little white girl she agreed and they was friends. The End."
Baby
Girl just look at me. Law, that was a sorry story if I ever heard one. Wasn't
even no plot to it. But Mae Mobley, she smile and say, "Tell it again.”

Kathryn Stockett, The Help
“She
realized that Rowan saw each of those thoughts and more as he reached into his
tunic and pulled out a dagger. Her dagger. He extended it to her, it's long
blade gleaming as if he'd been secretly polishing and caring for it these
months.
And
when she grasped the dagger, it's weight lighter than she remembered, Rowan
looked into her eyes, into her very core of her, and said, 'Fireheart'.”

“So
long as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say
that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.”

Mandy Hale
“I
have known her longer, my smile said. True, you have been inside the circle of
her arms, tasted her mouth, felt the warmth of her, and that is something I
have never had. But there is a part of her that is only for me. You cannot
touch it, no matter how hard you might try. And after she has left you I will
still be here, making her laugh. My light shining in her. I will still be here
long after she has forgotten your name.”
―
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
“Real
friends are the ones you can count on no matter what.
The
ones who go into the forest to find you and bring you home.
And
real friends never have to tell you that they’re your friends.”

you can touch it, since you’re my best friend.”
