A quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero
* “Like a marriage, the best friendships require investment, compromise, and sacrifice. By creating shared alignment, trust, and companionship, strong friendships nourish the soul and sharpen the mind.”
David Perell • The Fruits of Friendship - David Perell
Being friends is about looking into each other’s eyes, doing things together in the world, an endless exchange of gut laughs and bear hugs, joy and grief and dancing. These are all the things Facebook will often drain from you by dominating your time with hollow parodies of friendship.
Johann Hari • Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention--and How to Think Deeply Again
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
– Marcus Aurelius
Friendship, accordingly, is always helpful, but love sometimes even does harm. Try to perfect yourself, if for no other reason, in order that you may learn how to love.

“Friendship is born at the moment when one person says to another: ‘What? You too? I thought I was the only one.’”—C. S. Lewis
