Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
- Elbert Hubbard
Indeed, it is a sweet thing, friendship, a dear balm, A happy and auspicious bird of calm... especially, on otherwise lonely Saturday night when Lidka and Christopher hold pirozky in their palm ;-)
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.
- C. S. Lewis
