A friend is a loved one who awakens your life in order to free the wild possibilities within you. (John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom)

The Buddhist tradition has a lovely concept of friendship, the notion of the Kalyana-mitra, the “noble friend.” Your Kalyana-mitra, your noble friend, will not accept pretension but will gently and very firmly confront you with your own blindness. (John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom)

You can never love another person unless you are equally involved in the beautiful but difficult spiritual work of learning to love yourself. (John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom)

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. (Anaïs Nin)
