My core group of friends are all from when I was a kid.
Among all the many kinds of first love, that which begins in childish companionship is the strongest and most enduring: when passion comes to unite its force to long affection, love is at its spring-tide.
All my friends I've known since I was really little.
Our relatives form the natural setting of our childhood. We understand ourselves best and are best understood by others through the persons who came nearest to us in our earliest years.
I was in romantic relationships with girls - whatever that means at 14.
everyone - you included - is on her best behavior in the beginning of a relationship. Sometimes little quirks turn out to be big ones, and the big advantage that women have - sometimes the only advantage - is their intuition.
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
I met my best friend in a sandbox when I was three, and he would grow up to be gay and loved to dress in my clothing any chance he got.
. . . the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain.
