“True friends share everything, except the past before they met.”

“My real friend was my first wife. I could share everything with her without exception. That's how it came together that she became both a wife and a friend. A friend in the full sense of the word happens once in a lifetime or does not happen at all.”

“It is hidden for everything that is not God, except for those with whom he wants to share Himself.”

“If you have one true friend you have more than your share.”

“Our friends are generally ready to do everything for us, except the very thing we wish them to do.”

“We must recognize, and loudly proclaim, that every one, whatever his grade in the old society, whether strong or weak, capable or incapable, as, before everything, THE RIGHT TO LIVE, and that society is bound to share amongst all, without exception, the means of existence at its disposal.”

“Taking a thing apart is always faster than putting something together. This is true of everything except marriage.”

“I need a new friend. I need a friend, period. Not a true friend, nothing close or share clothes or sleepover giggle giggle yak yak. Just a pseudo-friend, disposable friend. Friend as accessory. Just so I don't feel or look so stupid.”

“… memory can restore to life everything except smells, although nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.”

“To hear Delly describe it, I had next to no friends because I intimidated people by being so exceptional. Not true. I had next to no friends because I wasn't friendly.”
