"I think romance is friendship and attraction sort of meeting together and that does influence what I'm writing a lot. I try to establish the attraction, obviously, but I also think it's important to show the characters having actual conversations about things other than their feelings for each other - and to develop their friendship on the page."
"A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same."
Elbert Hubbard on Friendship"Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Albert Camus on Friendship"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind."
Buddha on Friendship"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
Muhammad Ali on Friendship"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."
Oprah Winfrey on Friendship"In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them."
