I remember, somewhat, the following quote about friendship. I may not have it exactly correct, but I believe it is close enough:
A friend is someone you pour out all that is in your heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will hold and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
Apologies if it is misquoted ... the intent is there, though.
