L. M. Montgomery on friendship

Isn’t it good just to be alive on a day like this? I pity the people who aren’t born yet for missing it. They may have good days, of course, but they can never have this one.

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Marilla, isn’t it nice to think that to-morrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus1913–1960

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one!’

C. S. Lewis1898–1963
