You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see the genius. Because people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

"I'm so scared of everything. I'm scared of how things will turn out when I'm gone. We may say our friendship will last forever. And I do believe our friendship is strong and will never fail because neither one of us will allow it to, but we have no control over the distance that stands between us. It scares me knowing that you are going to be laughing and smiling with someone else other than me. And what scares me the most is that someone is going to take my space as your best friend. I can't bare the thought that when I'm sad and crying, someone else is going to be here wiping my tears from my face. I know a time is going to come soon when we have to part, but I ask myself why can't it be later and not now. Our lives are going to change once we part, and I fear that so much."

"One day we'll wave 'hello' and wish we'd never waved 'goodbye.'"

"I have to say I'm the luckiest person in the entire world. Why? Because I'm one of those lucky people who found a true friend like you. We might have met as strangers. Back then, the thought never entered my mind that you'd be the person I'd love and trust the most. But you showed how valuable our friendship is by always lending me a shoulder to cry on and always finding the key to solve my problems. You never caused a single tear that rolled down my face, instead, you were always there to wipe the ones others had triggered. You battled my tough times with me, and you shielded me from everything that harmed me. I will always remember the tough times we went through, but what I will remember most are the times when we laughed so hard tears came rolling down our faces. I remember how we laughed and smiled about our teenage crushes. I remember watching all those movies only to find that when I was crying you were crying, when I was scared, you were scared, and when I was laughing, you were laughing with me. I remember all those quiet walks we shared. Sometimes we would have so much to say to one another, but sometimes we were short of words but even through the silence, I was having the best walk out of my life. Perhaps that's why our friendship is so strong and will never collapse. Trust, loyalty, love, honesty, fun, laughter, smiles, tears, hardships-they're all things I felt when I'm with you, and I've never felt all those feelings with just one friend before. You're one in a million, and I will never forget you for as long as I live. No matter how far apart we are, I know that you'll always be in my thoughts."
"And so it comes just as it is, a day no longer here. And through my trembling fingertips, the memories of the year. I try not to wave farewell to all our dreams, I will forget you never, I wonder if the crazy times will stay with you forever. But as I cry in pain of losing you, my dear and such great friend, I will not close the book and say farewell, this is the end. For good-byes create swift hellos and days from now you'll see, that though it hurts to say good-bye, your friend will always be."
"As I look back on all that's happened--growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me...there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever...and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold." - C.L. Purdy

"Let's face it, we've changed ... we've all changed. Somewhere between summer ending and school starting, we've all gone our own directions. Hearts were broken, friendships diminished, new loves started and new people came into our lives. We no longer spend all our time together in our circle of friends, we no longer talk for hours about nothing at all. We've changed ... some for the better and some for the worse. Some of us are finding love while others are trying to let go. Even though we've changed, we all know that even though were all finding our own place in the world, that when we find out love, when we let go of a love, when the tears fall or the happy smile spreads across our face ... we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us and no matter what happens, nothing will ever change so much that we're not all best friends forever." - Allison Mosher
