They had battled and bloodied one another, they had kept secrets, broken hearts, lied, betrayed, exiled, they had walked away, said goodbye and sworn it was forever, and somehow, every time, they had mended, they had forgiven, they had survived. Some mistakes could never be fixed - some, but not all. Some people can't be driven away, no matter how hard you try. Some friendships won't break. Robin Wasserman
About This Quote

This quote by Sharon Olds captures some of the joy of friendship. A family member, a close friend, an ex-lover, or even a stranger can be part of your life beyond all expectations. You learn to love them unconditionally, without conditions or judgments. You can share secrets with them; you can tell them that they are your best friend and they will always be. They will never betray you.
