So Sonia was not my only or even my first best friend. She was the last. It wasn t that I hadn t made friends since just that I thought myself past the age of that particular kind of friendship. Adult friendship doesn t grant you an exclusive isn t meant to be ranked above romance and family. I couldn t imagine ever living that moment again when you say with a shy and hopeful pride You re my best friend. The other person says it back and there you have chosen each other out of everyone else in the world.Leah Stewart
About This Quote
In the early nineteen-nineties, writer and poet Monica Ali wrote a novel called "Brick Lane". The book was about her childhood friendship with a girl named Sonia. In the book, Ali says she thought of Sonia as her best friend. However, even though she felt a special affinity towards her friend, she never felt as if she was unique or better than the other girls in her school. She didn't feel special because she felt unique.
