Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Henry Ward Beecher
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
George Gordon (Noel) Byron, 6th Baron Byron
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
