Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in; external situations cause internal friction; you grow apart and then bounce back together.

Friends confront each other sometimes, and sometimes the friendship lasts, and sometimes it doesn't.

Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy.

Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.

Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in the conclusions; their reasons are always different.

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 the same friends that I've had for 15 years. I think also, just by having each other, as soon as one of us gets a big head, we shoot the other one down.

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.

It is a maxim of old that among themselves all things are common to friends.
