I feel like our whole friendship was a lie. She's probably the only person I've ever really opened up to, and the whole time she was hiding stuff from me. I just don't feel like I can trust somebody like that.

One does not make friends. One recognizes them.

Love your enemies and hate your friends, your enemies remain the same your friends always change

A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.

Quakers almost as good as colored.... They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time.

I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don't trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.
