Favorite Friendship Quotes

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

―  Henri Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”

―  C.S. Lewis

A bosom friend–an intimate friend, you know–a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul.

―  Anne, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
