M&M

I think nothing else comforts us so much, as much as the memory of a friend,

the joy of his confidence or the immense relief of having confided in him

with absolute tranquility: precisely because he is a friend.

Comfort the desire to see him again if far away, to evoke it to feel it close,

almost to hear his voice and continue unfinished talks.

(David Maria Turoldo)
