Quotes - There are still some wonderful people left in this world!
“Care
to join me, Goodfellow?”
“Oh,
ice-boy. A moonlight stroll with you? Do you even have to ask?”

Julie Kagawa, The Lost Prince
“Best
friends, no matter what they do or how much they hurt you, it only hurts as
much as it does because they are your best friend. And none of us are perfect.
Mistakes were made for best friends to forgive; it’s what makes being a best
friend official.”

J.A. Redmerski, The Edge of Never
“The
friends you make in college are friends you'll have for life, even if you don't
talk for years at a time.”

Jessica Park, Flat-Out Love
“When
we fully understand the brevity of life, its fleeting joys and unavoidable
pains; when we accept the facts that all men and women are approaching an
inevitable doom: the consciousness of it should make us more kindly and
considerate of each other. This feeling should make men and women use their
best efforts to help their fellow travelers on the road, to make the path
brighter and easier as we journey on. It should bring a closer kinship, a
better understanding, and a deeper sympathy for the wayfarers who must live a
common life and die a common death.”

“Did
you just tell us you're gay?" asks Nick.
"Yes."
"Okay,"
he says. Abby swats him. "What?"
"That's
all you're going to say? Okay?"
"He
said not to make a big deal out of it," Nick says. "What am I
supposed to say?"
"Say
something supportive. I don't know. Or awkwardly hold his hand like I did.
Anything."
Nick
and I look at each other.
"I'm
not holding your hand," I tell him, smiling a little.
"All
right" --he nods-- "but know that I would.”

Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
“But
friendship is precious, not only in the shade but in the sunshine of life;
& thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is
sunshine. I will recur for proof to the days we have lately passed. On these
indeed the sun shone brightly.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON, Letters of Thomas Jefferson
“Nothing
of real worth can ever be bought. Love, friendship, honour, valour, respect.
All these things have to be earned.”

David Gemmell, Shield of Thunder
“You
can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin – to the bitter end. And
you can trust us to keep any secret of yours – closer than you yourself keep
it. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a
word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what
Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the ring. We are horribly
afraid–but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.”
―
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“I
look back now and realize that the gift of a true friend is that she sees you
not the way you see yourself or the way others see you. A true friend sees you
for who you are and who you can become.”
―
Robin Jones Gunn, Sisterchicks Say Ooh La La!
“It
ain't no fun if the homies can't have none. ”

Snoop Dogg
“A
friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself”

“Elsa
decides that even if people she likes have been shits on earlier occasions, she
has to learn to carry on liking them. You’d quickly run out of people if you
had to disqualify all those who at some point have been shits.”

Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
“There
are still some wonderful people left in this world! They are diamonds in the
rough, but they're around! You'll find them when you fall down– they're the
ones who pick you up, who don't judge, and you had to fall down to see them!
When you get up again, remember who your true friends are!”
― C.
JoyBell C.
“My
grandmother said, ‘It doesn’t really matter where you had to go, where you got
the ring, or where you played the Super Bowl, all that matters is that you put
in the work, you deserved it, and you earned it.”

Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and
Beyond
“It's
much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And
life doesn't stop for anybody.”
