Quote by Simone Weil

For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.

For when two beings who are not friends are near each other

Summary

This quote highlights the essence of true friendship: it transcends physical proximity. It suggests that mere physical proximity does not guarantee a meaningful connection between two individuals who are not friends. On the other hand, even if friends are physically distant from each other, their bond remains strong and they can still feel connected. The quote emphasizes that genuine friendship is built on understanding, trust, and emotional support, rather than simply being geographically close to one another.

But when you look out of a plane it's a special world...and I like it.

If only, I thought, I could talk to Eugene just one more time. This was before I came to understand that you cannot make someone fall in love with you But here's what you can do. By arguing and pleading and screaming and crying and throwing plates and phoning a lot and bringing hot food and sending flowers and buying gifts and doing unsolicited favors and remembering a birthday and being nice and declaring your abiding love and trying hard or sometimes merely by being present, you can make someone who was hitherto lukewarm really detest you.
