As soon as you try to describe a close friendship, it loses something.

There's something really interesting about having those close friends that you've had incredible times with but growing up and away from them. The underlying tensions, the shifting in the group dynamic, the little lies you tell to big yourself up: it's something that happens to us all.

Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.

I think quite a lot of people have a friendship or a love that's gone like that and it never quite reconciles properly.

I've got many close friends, but there's an awful lot about friendship that is not demonstrative in my case.

Friendships that don't fit my life anymore have faded away, and new ones have come in.

People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.

I have had the same friends since college, although as time has gone on, the daily nature of those relationships has changed, such that it is not daily at all.

Some of the choicest blessings of my life have been the close friendships I have experienced over the years. Often, these friendships have been forged in the fires of shared experience.
