‘I wrote “Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend. Your best friend, Frog.' ‘Oh,’ said Toad, ‘that makes a very good letter.’ Then Frog and Toad went out onto the front porch to wait for the mail. They sat there, feeling happy together."
- Frog and Toad are Friends, Arnold Lobel

Maybe, the only thing that has to make sense
about being somebody’s friend
is that you help them be their best self
on any given day. That you give them a home
when they don’t want to be in their own."
- Poet X, Elizabeth Acevedo
​

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses, there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”
- Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
