“The base of sincere friendship is mutual joy and compassion.”

Zafar Mirzo (1972)

“There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.”

P.G. Wodehouse (1881–1975) English author

“Some philosophers fail to distinguish propositions from judgments; … But in the real world it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true.”

Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) English mathematician and philosopher

Source: 1920s, Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology (1929), p. 259.
Variant: It is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. This statement is almost a tautology. For the energy of operation of a proposition in an occasion of experience is its interest, and its importance. But of course a true proposition is more apt to be interesting than a false one.
As extended upon in Adventures of Ideas (1933), Pt. 4, Ch. 16.
Context: Some philosophers fail to distinguish propositions from judgments; … But in the real world it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. The importance of truth is that it adds to interest.
