About This Quote
I envy the tireless intimacy of women’s friendship, its lastingness, and its unbendable strength. Friendship is something that can be forged in any circumstances. It can be forged in the face of adversity, in the face of death. It can be forged in the face of marital failure, when one or both partners are not happy with each other.
It can be forged when one or both partners are not happy with their marriage. It can be forged when one or both partners are not happy with their children. It can be forged when one or both partners are not happy with their job.
Friendship does not depend on circumstances; it is a partnership that can withstand anything. And, like true friendships, it is something that people choose to forge because it is the best choice they could make for themselves and for those whose lives they would change.
