For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Have you ever thought how humiliating and distressing it was to be placed upon a sphere? For friendship it is a boon never to be able to be further apart than the antipodes. But suppose that you are leaving together to go on and on; it is impossible. To go beyond a certain point is to return to where you began.
Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Lonely people, in talking to each other, can make each other lonelier.
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Love and friendship exclude each other.
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
