Eternity is a long time to spend alone, without others of your kind.
Ever since college, I make friends. They get married. I lose friends.
Fitting in is about assessing a situation and becoming who you need to be to be accepted. Belonging, on the other hand, doesn’t require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.
Friends may come and go but enemies accumulate.
Friendship is something that gets harder to understand, every damn year of my life.Friendship is like a kind of algebra test that nobody passes. In my worst moods, I think the best you can say is that...
God, how we get our fingers in each other's clay. That's friendship, each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of each other.
He did not know or care whether they were wizards or Muggles, friends or foes; all he cared about was that a dark stain was spreading across Dobby's front, and that he had stretched out his thin arms...
He had once thought it was strange to have a friend you'd never met. Now it was even stranger, losing a friend you'd never really had
He made it very clear that he didn’t want me here, she said at last. That my remaining at the Institute is not the happy chance I thought it was. Not in his view. And after I just finished telling you...
