"I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness."
SAMUEL JOHNSON
"Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities."
JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE
"I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give."
THOMAS JEFFERSON
"Age appears to be best in four things - old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read."
FRANCIS BACON
"If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys."
ORSON WELLES
POSTSCRIPT
"The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy together those moments of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people look back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred experiences."
