A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad.

You and I are more than friends. We're like a really small gang.

You're only delaying the inevitable. I have the Tacitus. I am invincible. The Tacitus told me of Tiberium missiles, of invulnerable flying ships, of real-time genetic mutation. More than alien. More than human! The next step in our evolution as a species!

Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.

The waterfall winks at every passerby.

Through humility, soul-searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.

True friendship is sitting together in silence and feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
