If fame were based on kindness instead of popularity, on understanding and not on worldwide attention, you would be the biggest celebrity on earth. And to my heart, you already are.

Breaking up with a boyfriend is a million times easier than breaking up with a best friend.

Although we may have taken different paths to reach the end, we’re right back where we started – the very best of friends.

If we go down we go down together, best friends means best friends forever. ~ Taking Back Sunday

Stand by your friends, wrong or right. ~ Operation Ivy

When you’re able to fool the world around you, but there’s one person who sees through your façade, the one who catches the frown right before the smile, the one who sees the tear just before you blink it away … that’s the person that is true. ~ Jackie

It’s the days we sit around and do nothing. It’s the moments we laugh so hard we cry. It’s the way we look at each other and know what’s going through our heads. It’s the stupid pictures and inside jokes. They’re the reasons we’re inseparable.

This might be a waste of time, but there’s no one I’d rather waste time with than all of my best friends. ~ Fall Out Boy

It’s just something that happens as you grow up -- you realize it’s less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.

Friends. A simple word, isn’t it? It’s uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh with and talk to. Now I know that friends aren’t that, they’re the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life … just because it was with them. They’re the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don’t judge you or make you change, they accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You’re tied by love for the other. Friendship is one of the greatest things in the world. I find my time with my friends to be the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love … and my life.

Nobody sees how we see. Nobody will discover what we have. Nobody will feel how we did. Nobody will laugh and cry the way we do. It’s secret languages that we hold within that nobody will understand; and with that, nobody could come close to the kind of life we live and the kind of happiness we receive from a simple laugh.

You were there in the beginning – the first person who ever told me I could be more then I was and believed it. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t share with you.

There will always be those friends who are more like family. And there will always be those friends who you once knew, but somehow life changed things. ~ Kelsey West

Best friends – the ones always there to beat up the boys that broke us.

And like a favorite old movie, sometimes the sameness in a friend is what you like the most about them. ~ Emily Giffin

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend. ~ Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen
