“A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
I hope my friends see themselves in the person I’ve become and in the words that I write. I don’t get out much these days, but I do love my friends dearly. There’s a writer I forget who it is, but when I find him, I’ll share a quote from him who loved friendship more than romantic relationships. Friendship really does give you perspective in life. The good ones, at least, dare you to give up the narrow views you hold in exchange for a more expanded view. And if the relationship allows, you do the same for them. Life truly is richer with friends.
