Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves-and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we're okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us-for various reasons, at various levels of intensity-they enrich the quality of our emotional life.

Image of Henry David Thoreau
My friend is one who takes me for what I am. A stranger takes me for something else than what I am. . . .

It brings men together in crowds and mobs in bar-rooms and elsewhere, but it does not deserve the name of virtue.

Letter to Alexander Pope. 7 Feb. 1736.
