Maybe the most important part of friendship is not how similar you are or how well you get along but how much vulnerability you once shared.

I believe that everyone has his own private happiness – when he has it. And to wish someone a happiness he might not want would be most imprudent. I don’t know exactly what you desire, and that is why I make my wishes extremely vague. But I have little fear of their not coming true. You have happiness within you: that is the safest, if not the only, way of having it. In any case, whatever may be the happiness you dream of (to dream of it is already to have it in the most ideal sense of the word, which as a good idealist I believe to be the only true one), I am sure it is a happiness of the very best quality.
