very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them 
everywhere.
      - Zig Ziglar


Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets 
you have total freedom to be yourself — and especially to feel. 
Or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is 
fine with them. That's what real love amounts to — letting a 
person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you 
pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending 
— performing. You get to love your pretense. It's true, we're 
locked in an image, an act — and the sad thing is, people get 
so used to their image — they grow attached to their masks. They 
love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. 
And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it — they feel 
like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.
 - Jim Morrison

keeping what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of 
kindness, blow the rest away.
        - George Elliot

Friends Forever

Only your Real Friend will tell you that your Face is Dirty ;)  ~ Unknown

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.  The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.  ~Henri Nouwen
