You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.

I wanted a name I could shape the music towards. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba – ‚Lana Del Rey‘ reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.

Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.

A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good.

A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

My friends are people who like building cool stuff. We always have this joke about people who want to just start companies without making something valuable. There’s a lot of that in Silicon Valley.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

I think politicians really go with the tide.
