A Best Friend Is Someone With Whom You Can Sit On The Porch, Without A Word, And Then Walk Away With The Feeling That It Was The Best Conversation That Ever Had In Your Life. I Would Like To See Next To Me Was The Man In Whose Presence My Heart Beat Would Be Evenly And Uniformly, The Man Next To Whom I Would Be Calm, Because I Was Not Afraid To Be The Next Day To Lose Him. And The Time Would Have Flowed More Slowly, And We Could Just Keep Quiet, Knowing That To Talk With Us There Is Still A Whole Life. Only One Thing Makes A Dream Impossible - It Is The Fear Of Failure.
