something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding
equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
~Rowan Williams
Even where
friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
~Namie Amuro
My first
experiences of academic friendship made me smile in after years when I looked
back on them. But my circle of acquaintances had gradually grown so large that
it was only natural new friendships should grow out of it.
~Georg Brandes
Today, I, too,
wish to reaffirm that I intend to continue on the path toward improved
relations and friendship with the Jewish people, following the decisive lead
given by John Paul II.
~Pope Benedict XVI
There has to be
chemistry in a duet, but if you go beyond the point of friendship and
attraction, you lose something.
~Kenny Rogers
Often the magical
elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world, the small
and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no
longer pay attention to, like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own
lives with those of other people and places.
~Charles de Lint
During the 1950s,
Aristotle Onassis and I formed what grew to be a close friendship and
association in several business ventures.
~Paul Getty
Look, I worked
with American Republican presidents and Democratic presidents, all of them, and
each of them has shown a deep and profound friendship to Israel, you know? I
can't remember anybody who was in that sense negative as far as Israel is
concerned.
~Shimon Peres
Neatness begets
order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to
genius, or from love to friendship.
~Johann Kaspar
Lavater
Our philosophy
precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational
process and a factor for promoting peace, friendship, cooperation and
understanding among peoples.
~Juan Antonio
Samaranch
Things have gone
beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so
many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our
wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.
~Trey Anastasio
I was desperate
for a friend, and I used to lie in bed at night thinking about what it would be
like. My younger brothers and sisters had friends, and I used to watch them
playing to try to work out what they did and how friendship worked.
~Daniel Tammet
I definitely have
guys that I'm friends with that I have a crush on, and you don't want to ruin
the friendship.

One of the great
things personally coming to Hawai'i is my friendship of Jim Nicholson.
~Dan Fouts
I loved my 17
years with R.E.M., but I'm ready to reflect, assess and move on to a different
phase of my life. The four of us will continue our close friendship, and I look
forward to hearing their future efforts as the world's biggest R.E.M. fan.
~Bill Berry
I didn't like
England. I couldn't take the look of the place or the style of friendship. I
need more intimacy from people than is considered okay there, and I felt that
my personality and my enthusiasms weren't understood. I had to put a big lid on
myself.
~Jane Campion
Good fellowship
and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.
~William Wycherley
Anything can be
done if you find friends to do it with. The lucky biographers find themselves
drawn into a sort of friendship with their subject.
~Amity Shlaes
Friendship is
inexplicable, it should not be explained if one doesn't want to kill it.
~Max Jacob
I've always wanted
to be a mom because I want to give a kid all of the magical gifts my mom gave

that was so unbelievable.
~Jennifer Love
Hewitt
But, based on my
friendship with Evie as young mothers, I started going on freedom rides in
1966.
~June Jordan
I come from the
New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this
friendship of Will and Grace's isn't such a stretch.
~Debra Messing
Friendship's the
privilege of private men; for wretched greatness knows no blessing so
substantial.
~Nahum Tate
Those who insist
on having hostilities with us, kill and destroy the option of friendship with
us in the future, which is unfortunate because it is clear the future belongs
to Iran and that enmities will be fruitless.
~Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad
I've got many
close friends, but there's an awful lot about friendship that is not
demonstrative in my case.
~Warren
Christopher
I play- it's kind
of like a slice-of-life, LA women in their forties, playing forty kind of
what's their friendship like, and what's their life like and so I just play one
of the four friends.
~Joan Cusack
Working with
people, the musical part is one thing but the personal part is totally
different and just as critical. If the friendship is there and it's a lasting
friendship, then it will take care of itself.
~John Mayall
On one side,
citizens have great respect for the United States; they have a great feeling of
friendship. That is solid. But in the opposition and in the political arena I
often find criticism of the closeness of relations with the United States. That
is a reality.
~Vicente Fox
The arrogance that
says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important
than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I
can't accept that.
~Alain de Botton
My last public
performance for money was in 1967. For free, it was 1972, with the exception of
two little one-shot, one-song things. But that's just for friends, out of
friendship for the people involved, and also because it was fun.
~Tom Lehrer
The most important
thing for me is to have real friendship between Egyptians and Americans.
~Mohammed Morsi
The joys of
friendship inert the heart and fizzy home bouncing jubilantly with
laughter-buttered love.

Blunders, no, only
friendship binds us to honesty - attracting crypts of mushrooms in the wake of
our snowboards.

Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
~Hu Jintao
The sacrifices of
friendship were beautiful in her eyes as long as she was not asked to make
them.
~Hector Hugh Munro
We became friends
as we became a band. Our friendship evolved as the band evolved. It had its ups
and downs, but it was mostly ups for the four of us. We got along well almost
all of the time. Hey! We liked each other and we still do.
~Dave Blood
So far as it
depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and
friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.
~John Tyler
Rock n' roll as a
genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me
suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community.
~Steven Van Zandt
India-Seychelles
relations have been characterized by close friendship, understanding and
cooperation.
~Pratibha Patil
Friendship can
only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and
woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and
different points of view.
~August Strindberg
You are almost not
free, if you are teaching a group of graduate students, to become friends with
one of them. I don't mean anything erotically charged, just a friendship.
~Marilyn Hacker

grateful for his extensive contributions and we will miss his friendship and
support. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Casey family on its personal
loss.
~Gerard Arpey
Watching John
Lasseter's films, I think I can understand better than anyone that what he's
doing, is going straight ahead with his vision and working really hard to get
that vision into film form. And I feel that my understanding this of him is my
friendship towards him.
~Hayao Miyazaki
I noticed that no
matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got
asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school,
family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl.
~Elizabeth Berkley
There was really
no friendship in modeling, though a certain amount of warmth comes from running
into models you know on shoots, because you end up in so many unfamiliar
places, from Alaska to Africa.
~Carol Alt
Here's a news
flash: No soldier gives his life. That's not the way it works. Most soldiers
who make a conscious decision to place themselves in harm's way do it to
protect their buddies. They do it because of the bonds of friendship - and it
goes so much deeper than friendship.
~Eric Massa
