“The difference between friendship and love is how much you can hurt each other.”

“Love and friendship exclude each other.”

“That's the beauty of this country — we can have different opinions and coexist and be amused by each other and hurt and offended.”

“God, how we get our fingers in each other's clay. That's friendship, each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of each other.”

“It'll be hard, but life moves fast-we'll see each other again. I know that. I can feel that. Just like I can feel how much you care for me and how much I love you”

“When two people respect each other, the ability to be vulnerable and to reveal hurt feelings can create a powerful emotional connection that is the source of real intimacy and friendship.”

“we know that there can never be any solid friendship between individuals, or union between communities that is worth the name, unless the parties be persuaded of each others honesty”

“If more people recognized the difference between friendship and mere attraction, and how love must partake of both to prosper, I expect there'd be more happy people.”

“We make each other alive; it doesn't make a difference if it hurts.”

“How can I love you if I don't know what hurts you?”
