Friends and friendship

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.

- Craik, Dinah Mulock

It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
