"Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something." ― Anton Chekhov Topic(s): Friendship More From Anton Chekhov "No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith." "Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other." "When you’re thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that’s faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that’s science." More In Friendship "The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it."― Hubert H. Humphrey "It became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There’s not a lot of love going around."― Jennifer Beals "Friendship’s the wine of life: but friendship new… is neither strong nor pure."― Edward Young
