Friendship

"Wherever you’re happy, stay. Wherever you sleep peacefully, dream. Wherever the hugs are the strongest, linger."

"Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another."

"Success in life is fundamentally linked to the ability to establish meaningful human relationships."

"True communication happens when people feel safe enough to say what they really think."

"Silence is a true friend who never betrays."

"Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."

"No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men."

"Good fences make good neighbours."

"We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives."

"Today each of you is the object of the other’s reading, one reads in the other the unwritten story."

"People on the autism spectrum don’t think the same way you do. In my life, people who made a difference were those who didn’t see labels, who believed in building on what was there. These were people who didn’t try to drag me into their world, but came into mine instead."

"I strongly recommend that students with autism get involved in special interest clubs in some of the areas they naturally excel at. Being with people who share your interests makes socializing easier."

"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."
