Friendship Quotes

If you’re thinking of browsing the Friendship category, you must be thinking of a friend. Maybe you’re missing a friend from your past that pops into your head when you see a group of kids playing hop-scotch. Childhood friendships are special, but they often end with childhood. Take yourself back to those carefree days. You’re sure to find a poem or a quote to make it real again. The poetry in this category isn’t all sentimental and mushy, but there’s some of that, because many people prefer their poetry sweet, like their coffee.

You’ll find quotations from famous people, poems by well known poets and some not so well known, but that’s the thing about poets and writers and creative people. They speak to each of us differently about life experiences we all share, and it’s the words that matter. Some quotes are inspirational. Some are motivational. You may find one that speaks directly to you and motivates you to pick up the phone and call a friend just to see how they’re doing.

Poets struggle with the day-to-day process of articulating experience, and while each person’s experience is unique, to use a Biblical quotation, “there is nothing new under the sun.” We share the human experience. And we long to share it with each other. That’s the whole idea of poetry – well, it’s not the whole idea. We want to share our experiences with words that paint pictures so we can recognize ourselves in them.

In the Friendship category, you can explore and remember how it felt to meet someone you really enjoyed being with, and how that meeting led to a lifelong friendship. You’ll probably find a quote that describes a friend to a tee. There are even laments about friendships that went off the tracks. There’s sure to be something that comes close to describing the pain we feel when a friend is gone forever.

Whatever kind of friends you have, or whatever kind of friend you are, you’ll find yourself here.
