Friendships are the family we make - not the one we inherit. I've always been someone to whom friendship, elective affinities, is as important as family.

The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.

“True friendship is not measured in days or decades.”

“Friendship either finds or makes equals”

“The club's long gone but the friendship goes on,”

“All lasting business is built on friendship.”

“Friendships are discovered rather than made.”

“The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.”

“Friendships are forgotten when the game begins.”

“Friendship is one mind in two bodies.”
