John D. RockefellerI am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.

Marlene DietrichWhenever you feel โshortโ or in โneedโ of something, give what you want first and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love, friendship.

A Little Life devotes itself to answering those questions, and is, in its own dark way, a miracle.

For what house is so strong, or what state so enduring that it cannot be utterly overthrown by animosities and division?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
