For you, a thousand times over.
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
A bolt of warmth, fierce with joy and pride and gratitude, flashed through me like sudden lightning. I don’t care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching—they are your family.
Jim Butcher, Proven Guilty
Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.
Martin Luther King Jr.
She says, You did just fine honey, that’s okay /
Sometimes life’s just that way /
You’re gonna lose the race from time to time /
But you’re always gonna find /
You can’t lose me /
Faith Hill, You Can’t Lose Me
I hope he lives a long life in order to stand as an example to other men of how to be a generous, loyal and loving human being.
Where loyalty bound creatures together, they became something larger, something new and whole and inexplicable.
Orson Scott Card
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Because once upon a time, we were best friends and, yes, there’s been a lot of bad stuff in between but none of that matters right now, okay? You need me, I’m there. Any time, any place, anywhere.
Joshua Jackson, Dawson’s Creek

Oprah Winfrey
And I like you. You’re funny, and you’re smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.
John Green, Paper Towns
You break his heart, I break your face.
Mary Stuart Masterson, Some Kind of Wonderful
If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you.
A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
