“It's the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected”

“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.”

“How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams with its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of beginnings, story without end, each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!”

“Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones”

“The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship”

“Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.”
