I have found so many wonderful quotes that rejoice friendship. Check out some of my favorite ones!
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety.
“It is love and friendship, the sanctity and celebration of our relationships, that not only support a good life, but create one. Through friendships, we spark and inspire one another’s ambitions.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life.
“Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables.
“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”
E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web
“‘You have been my friend,’ replied Charlotte. ‘That in itself is a tremendous thing.’”
R.J. Palacio, Wonder
“It’s not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend.”
