“The eleventh apartment had only one closet, but it did have a sliding glass door that opened onto a small balcony, from which he could see a man sitting across the way, outdoors in only a T-shirt and shorts even though it was October, smoking.”

A few weeks ago, I shared my favorite bookish quotes from my favorite books. It was very fun to make so I wanted to make other post with a different topic.
Good and strong friendships in books are so important and I will almost always love the book if it ticks that box. Therefore, here are 5 quotes that describes what friendship means.
“It’s strange how many ways there are to miss someone. You miss the things they did and who they were, but you also miss who you were to them. The way everything you said and did beautiful or entertaining or important. How much you mattered.”
A List of Cages by Robin Roe
“Wasn’t friendship its own miracle, the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely?”
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
“My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.”
A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin
“A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship.”
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
“Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.”
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Did any of these quotes resonate with you? Or do you also love any of these books for their portrayal of friendship?
Happy reading!
