I don't think it's more important to preserve female friendship than a marriage. But I think that there's a place for female friendship that's really important in the lives of all the women I know. As I've gotten older, it's become much more important to me.
I can only say that one's individual situation is more real and important to oneself than the devastations of fates and empires especially when they do not vitally affect oneself.

I think the most important feeling in the world is friendship. The friendship between Michiru and Haruka is so strong, that it becomes love.
Most guys I know are assholes. I have some great asshole friends, but that's not the point. Friendship has got nothing to do with that.

That's what friendship is, and to me it's one of the most important things in the world.
Honesty, willingness to exert oneself, friendship - all these things shaped me too.

There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright; friendship with the sincere; and friendship with the man of much observation: these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft; and friendship with the glib-tongued: these are injurious.
Friendship involves many things but, above all the power of going outside oneself and appreciating what is noble and loving in another.
In any triangle, who is the betrayer, who the unseen rival, and who the humiliated lover? Oneself, oneself, and no one but oneself!

Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.
To me, the Sherlock Holmes stories are about a great friendship. Without Watson, Holmes might well have burnt out on cocaine long ago. I hope the series shows how important friendship is.
To begin with oneself but not to end with onself. To start from oneself but not to aim at oneself.
