- "We are so used to dissembling with others that in time we come to deceive and dissemble with ourselves."

- "There’s a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You’re left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It’s probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre."― Nancy Meyers
- "Love is a friendship set to music."― Joseph Campbell
- "Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake."― J. Donald Walters
