Friendship (91)

A man could change his politics, his friends, his religion, his country, but Men’s tools were a part of his body.

Man was a user of tools, a shaper of environments. - Walter M. Miller, Jr., ‘‘Way of a Rebel’’ (1954)
I’m a mog: half man, half dog. I’m my own best friend! - Mel Brooks, Thomas Meehan, and Ronny Graham, Spaceballs (.lm, 1987)

One desires reality. To a home-dweller, reality comes in the comforting familiarity of a neighborhood, the greeting of a friend. A traveler must seek it out, and tell tales to encourage belief in himself, what he has done and seen. - Carter Scholz, ‘‘Travels’’ (1980)
Where lies the line between sorcery and science? It is only a matter of terminology, my friend. - Alan Dean Foster, Cyber Way (1990)
A secret is a weapon and a friend. - James Stephens, TheCrockofGold (1912)
Starlight helped her to see. Orange starlight. Gold starlight. Starlight like the reddest rose. The stars were friends, she was sure. - Doris Pitkin Buck, ‘‘The Giberel’’ (1971)
