Friendship
Quotes - Could you visit me in dreams?
“Loneliness
is a hard thing to handle. I feel it, sometimes. When I do, I want it to end.
Sometimes, when you're near someone, when you touch them on some level that is
deeper than the uselessly structured formality of casual civilized interaction,
there's a sense of satisfaction in it. Or at least, there is for me. It doesn't
have to be someone particularly nice. You don't have to like them. You don't
even have to want to work with them. You might even want to punch them in the
nose. Sometimes just making that connection is its own experience, its own
reward.”

“Wayne:
You wanna know why I really came to find you?
Waxilliam:
Why?
Wayne:
I thought of you happy in a comfy bed, resting and relaxing, spending the rest
of your life sipping tea and reading papers while people bring you food and
maids rub your toes and stuff.
Waxilliam:
And?

And I just couldn't leave you to a fate like that...I'm too good a friend to
let a mate of mine die in such a terrible situation.
Waxilliam:
Comfortable?
Wayne:
No. Boring.”
