"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

"And what is a friend? More than a father, more than a brother: a traveling companion, with him, you can conquer the impossible, even if you must lose it later. Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing."
