~By Virginia Woolf ~

~By Jennifer Beals ~
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless!
~By William Shakespeare ~

~By Charles R. Swindoll ~
If our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years, we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not, as our military friends say, a 'robust strategy.'
~By Mitch Daniels ~

I love being with my family, my friends, and my boyfriend.
~By Monica Keena ~
I have a lot of friends and fans in Canada and as a matter of fact I met a fan from there that came down to my office. It was nice and we took pictures and had a nice talk.

Eminem is more like a friend. And I'm also a fan on Eminem.
~By Obie Trice ~
I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.
~By Wentworth Miller ~
It's one thing for the people in the industry to know who you are, because they've heard about you earlier. I have friends calling me from the Christian bookstore because there's a poster on the wall. It's just weird.

~By Thornton Wilder ~

~By Stephen Fry ~
When the strong box contains no more both friends and flatterers shun the door.
~By Plutarch ~

~By Lawrence Kasdan ~
A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

~By Donald Trump ~

~By Herschel Walker ~

~By Catherine Drinker Bowen ~
I use the language I use to my friends. They wouldn't believe me if I used some high-flown literary language. I want them to believe me.
~By Adrian Mitchell ~
