an old friend

"Friendship is unnecessary,

like philosophy, like art...

It has no survival value;

rather is one of those things

that give value to survival."

- C. S. Lewis

“Two are better than one,

because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down, his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls

and has no one to help him up!”

- Ecclesiastes 4: 9,10 NIV

"It takes a long time to grow an old friend."

- John Leonard
