When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's
a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all
this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life
can stand a little of that.

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience
of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship
both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in
lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship
a permanent success.
