So I guess you could say Neel owes me a few favors, except that so many favors have passed between us now that they are no longer distinguishable as individual acts, just a bright haze of loyalty. Our friendship is a nebula.

About This Quote

So I guess you could say Neel owes me a few favors, except that so many favors have passed between us now that they are no longer distinguishable as individual acts, just a bright haze of loyalty. Our friendship is a nebula. When we met, I knew very little about you except that you were smart and funny. Now I know everything about you, but somehow I’m not surprised by anything you do or say.

You are constantly surprising me in this way, and yet here we are. We don’t agree on any issues, but somehow we make it work. And the reason it works is not because of any special quality about me or any particular gifts that you bring to our relationship; it’s because when we touch on our topics of common ground (art, music, the future), we find it.
