Time is the most extraordinary gift for friendship. You'll get to eat your meals together and study together; in some cases you'll even sleep in the same room. You'll have time to waste on each other. You'll find out every single thing you have in common and still have time to catalogue all of your differences. Don't underestimate the vital necessity of friendship in your life because it is the thing that will sustain you later, when there will be considerably less time.
Ann PatchettI believe, in my better moments, that there is a plan and things go not the way we want them to but the way they should.
Ann PatchettI know where I'm going. And if I don't know where I'm going, I don't tend to get anywhere.
