“The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.”
Andrew Sullivan
“If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.”
Michel de Montaigne
“I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”
Rita Rudner
“"Marriage is absolute love and life absolute but only husband and wife can live an absolute marriage."”
Emanouhl
“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”
Elie Wiesel
“A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.”
Charles Kingsley
“Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.”
Sydney Smith
