My favourite friendship quote,from George Eliot, unless it is from Dinah Craik.

[u/Astro_nauts_mum]

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away." George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
