I didn't really want to go but I didn't want to embarrass him in front of his friends. We had a really great time.

I had broken up (with a boyfriend) and I was upset, standing outside the store one day. We became friends first, before anything else.

We were friends before, and I thought we'd be friends afterward. He's a great man.

(Remember that) business is business and your personal life is your personal life and the two can't mix.

My (older sister Beth) answers the door and lets him in. I was sitting there with headphones (listening to music). All of a sudden I look up and he was standing there in the den.

We cannot tell the exact moment a friendship is formed; as in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses, there is at last one that makes the heart run over.
