"Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends." ― Virginia Woolf Topic(s): Friendship More From Virginia Woolf "You cannot find peace by avoiding life." "Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size." "It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others." More In Friendship "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable."― Bruce Lee "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets."― Barack Obama "Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil."― Baltasar Gracian
