I have always laid it down as a maxim -and found it justified by experience -that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex -but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.
Lord ByronHere's a sigh to those who love me,And a smile to those who hate;And, whatever sky's above me,Here's a heart for every fate.
