Quotes & Sayings About Time Passing And Friendship

The death of a friendship was usually slow and insidious, like the wearing away of a hillside after years of too much rain. A handful of misunderstandings, a season of miscommunication, the passing of time, and where once stood two women with a dozen years of memories and tears and conversation and laughter - where once stood two women closer than sisters - now stood two strangers. — Karen Kingsbury

In your entire life, you can probably count your true friends on one hand. Maybe even on one finger.

People who are just passing time. — Sarah Ockler

Friendship, popularly represented as something simple and straightforward - in contrast with love - is perhaps no less complicated, requiring equally mysterious nourishment; like love, too, bearing also within its embryo inherent seeds of dissolution, something more fundamentally destructive, perhaps, than the mere passing of time, the all-obliterating march of events which had, for example, come between Stringham and myself. — Anthony Powell

My entire notion of friendship altered when I depended on someone for more than just the pleasant passing of time. — Courtney Milan
