Friendship

Friendship

.

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.

A single rose can be my garden...

a single friend, my world.

~Leo Buscaglia

Those truly linked don't need correspondence.

When they meet again after many years apart,

Their friendship is as true as ever.

~Deng Ming-Dao

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson, adapted

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.
