“Friendship is born at that moment when one man says to another:
"What! You too?
I thought that no one but myself . . ."”
“Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.”
“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting
for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
The friend who holds your hand
and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff
than the one who stays away.
~Barbara Kingsolver
