(On WWI:)

A man of importance had been shot at a place I could not pronounce in Swahili or in English, and, because of this shooting, whole countries were at war. It seemed a laborious method of retribution, but that was the way it was being done. ...

A messenger came to the farm with a story to tell. It was not a story that meant much as stories went in those days. It was about how the war progressed in German East Africa and about a tall young man who was killed in it. ... It was an ordinary story, but Kibii and I, who knew him well, thought there was no story like it, or one as sad, and we think so now.

The young man tied his shuka on his shoulder one day and took his shield and his spear and went to war. He thought war was made of spears and shields and courage, and he brought them all.

But they gave him a gun, so he left the spear and the shield behind him and took the courage, and went where they sent him because they said this was his duty and he believed in duty. ...

He took the gun and held it the way they had told him to hold it, and walked where they told him to walk, smiling a little and looking for another man to fight.

He was shot and killed by the other man, who also believed in duty, and he was buried where he fell. It was so simple and so unimportant.

But of course it meant something to Kibii and me, because the tall young man was Kibii's father and my most special friend. Arab Maina ~ Beryl Markham
Special Friend quotes by Beryl Markham
I snatched up the cardboard cup, plastered my lips to the plastic sippy-lid and sucked down a scalding hot mouthful. It burned, but I didn't give a damn. I held the cup to my chest as if it were my most special friend while feeling the instant affect the coffee had on my mood and I smiled. Hello lover. ~ Ethan Day
Special Friend quotes by Ethan Day
Every now and then we find a special friend, who never lets us down, who understands it all, reaches out each time you fall, you're the best friend that I've found. ~ Jordan Hill
Special Friend quotes by Jordan Hill
When taking risks you always require a special friend: courage. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Special Friend quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
He was special friend to Coyote Kachina, who taught him the secret of shape shifting." "Grandfather blessed this earth with his presence for ninety-eight years. He had the courage to survive and left this world a better place than he found it. We shall all miss him." She blew a kiss at Grandfather. "Goodbye, Governor. You are my sun beneath the earth, my heart above the clouds, and my prayer for a better life. I will see you every morning when the sun rises. I shall miss you when the sun sets. I will yearn for you on a cloudy day. Do not forget me." She threw a silver locket with her picture into the grave. ~ Belinda Vasquez Garcia
Special Friend quotes by Belinda Vasquez Garcia
Some friends are more significant and important than other friends. A special friend can often change your life for the better. You will know when this special person enters your life because of the respect you have for them. They will never lie or set you aside for someone or something else. You will have undying trust in this person that any words spoken will never find another ear. They always returned calls at the earliest possible time. They will check in often to see what is going on in your life and just talk. Your accomplishments will be applauded with praise and losses will never be repeated. This friend has you melted within their heart as you do theirs. When you find such a person be sure to return the love and understand they have gifted you and your life. ~ RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 1983
Special Friend quotes by RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 1983
Thousands of volumes have been written about aviation, but we do not automatically have thousands of true and special friends in their authors. That rare writer who comes alive on a page does it by giving of himself, by writing of meanings, and not just of fact or of things that have happened to him. The writers of flight who have done this are usually found together in a special section on private bookshelves. ~ Richard Bach
Special Friend quotes by Richard Bach
The Legend of Rainbow Bridge by William N. Britton
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge
When a pet dies who has been especially close to a person here on earth, that pet goes to a Rainbow Bridge.
There are beautiful meadows and grassy hills there for all our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is always plenty of their favorite food to eat, plenty of fresh spring water for them to drink, and every day is filled with sunshine so our little friends are warm and comfortable.
All the pets that had been ill or old are now restored to health and youth.
Those that had been hurt or maimed are now whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by.
The pets we loved are happy and content except for one small thing.
Each one misses someone very special who was left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one of them suddenly stops and looks off into the distant hills.
It is as if they heard a whistle or were given a signal of some kind.
Their eyes are bright and intent.
Their body beings to quiver.
All at once they break away from the group, flying like a deer over the grass, their little legs carrying them faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you hug and cling to them in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
Happy kisses rain upon your face.
Your hands on ~ Sylvia Browne
Special Friend quotes by Sylvia Browne
Dance, dance for me
Dance with the stars
Laugh, laugh for me
Wherever you are

Sing, sing out loud
Like angels do
Remember me
The way I'll remember you

Love, love for me
With all your soul
Cry, cry for me
As I grow old

See, see me from the edge of Heaven's eye
Feel for me 'cause feelings never die

I'll remember you
My very special friend
Until we meet again

(By Carrie Hamilton, Carol Burnett's daughter) ~ Carol Burnett
Special Friend quotes by Carol Burnett
I'm Tekchin," he said, exchanging an empty gourd for a full one. "The handsomest and most skilled of the Galantians."
This brought an immediate and loud moan from the other Fhrey.
"That scar suggests otherwise," Moya replied. "On both counts."
More laughter, louder this time.
"Pretty and smart," Tekchin said to the others in Fhrey.
Persephone was thankful Moya couldn't understand their language. A comment like that would have been tantamount to putting torch to tinder.
"This?" Tekchin returned to Rhunic and touched his cheek. "Naw, this is a beauty mark given to me by a special friend. He's dead now, of course, but he was a gifted opponent and aiming for my throat. I can assure you it proves my skill. So what's your name, or shall I call you Doe-Eyes?"
"Doe-Eyes? Seriously?" Moya rolled her same-said eyes in disbelief. "I would have expected something less sappy from a god. My name is Moya. Call me anything else and you'll receive a second beauty mark."
Tekchin struggled but failed to resist smiling. Behind him, the rest of the Fhrey laughed once more.
"God, eh?" Tekchin said.
"Don't get too excited. Apparently it's only a rumor."
"I like you, Moya."
"Most people do," she replied. ~ Michael J. Sullivan
Special Friend quotes by Michael J. Sullivan
A truthful enemy is better than a deceitful friend. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Special Friend quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Family of friends, people she knows only by their voices. She especially likes Griswald, gruff old butler for wealthy Zack Givens. Meeting Griswald is a shock; he is neither gruff nor old, but a powerful, handsome man. In fact, he is Zack Givens, cold, heartless - and charmed by the artless young woman who brings him chicken soup, treats him like a friend ... and falls in love with the humble man she imagines him to be. Inevitably, she will face his betrayal. Then ~ Christina Dodd
Special Friend quotes by Christina Dodd
The best friend on earth of man is the tree: When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources of the earth. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Special Friend quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
They had assumed the attack would be just another barely noted, barely investigated skirmish in South Central-- in short, a typical gang case-- until word got back to them that they had killed a police officer's son. The case was eminently solvable-- once the right kind of pressure was applied. Lyle Prideaux had called Skaggs "a hard man." But he was not exactly hard. He as just unequivocal. In his hands, the murders were elevated in law to what they were in fact: Atrocities that must be answered for every single time.

The world wasn't watching. The public, his superiors, and a large share of the country's thinking classes gave only glancing notice to the battle Skaggs had devoted his life to. But Skaggs didn't care; Skaggs turned his back to the parade.

And just as it is impossible to imagine that things in the South would not have been different if the legal system had operated differently-- had black men's lives, for example, been afforded profound value as measured by the response of legal authorities-- it is impossible to imagine that the thousands of young men who died on the streets of Los Angeles County during Skaggs's career would have done so had their killers anticipated a "John Skaggs Special" in every case.

If every murder and every serious assault against a black man on the streets were investigated with Skaggs's ceaseless vigor and determination-- investigated as if one's own child were the victim, or as if we, as a society, cou ~ Jill Leovy
Special Friend quotes by Jill Leovy
Christians, indeed, have a special obligation not to forget how great and how inextinguishable the human proclivity for violence is, or how many victims it has claimed, for they worship a God who does not merely take the part of those victims, but who was himself one of them, murdered by the combined authority and moral prudence of the political, religious, and legal powers of human society. ~ David Bentley Hart
Special Friend quotes by David Bentley Hart
I think it's about beauty in the mundane," Casey said, cautiously. "About how there's truth in everything - like how you don't need to go somewhere special to experience beauty. ~ Kay Simone
Special Friend quotes by Kay Simone
Anger seeped in, like an old friend who was a lousy house guest, but you forget every time he leaves how much you wish him gone, and welcome him heartily when he reappears. Anger was so much easier than hurt, or heartache, or regret, so anger it was. Welcome my old friend. ~ Julia Kent
Special Friend quotes by Julia Kent
I've given you everything a friend can give, Joe Saul-even contempt, and that's the hardest thing of all. ~ John Steinbeck
Special Friend quotes by John Steinbeck
The Truth.
Live your life so that the truth is your friend.
The truth is the beginning of freedom.
The truth is freedom.
The truth is its own explanation.
One truth admits all others.
The truth is within you.
Don't fight it. Admitting the truth only hurts when it should.
It only takes one small truth to pierce your false illusions, and yet one truth can set your whole life straight.
The truth is the cure for confusion.
Only being loyal to truth will comfort you.
Being able to hear the truth is being able to understand the mysteries of your life and connect them.
People will only tell you the truth that you are able to hear. And so you can only have others' love if you can hear all of their truth.
If love is anything, love is the truth.
Where the truth is most easily expressed, stress is lowest.
Courage comes when you seek the truth.
Healing begins when you accept it.
Tell the truth so you're not in pain and can love the world again. ~ David Viscott
Special Friend quotes by David Viscott
And is it the way, in these kingdoms you fell from, for a woman to join forces with an unnatural child who's murdered her friend? Or is that expectation unique to you, and your infinitesimal heart? ~ Kristin Cashore
Special Friend quotes by Kristin Cashore
Physicists have theorized that we live in an infinite and infinitely expanding universe, and that everything in it will eventually repeat.
There are infinite copies of your mom and your dad and your clothes-stealing little sister. There are infinite copies of you.
Despite what you've spent your entire life believing, you are not a special snowflake. Somewhere out there, another you is living your life. Chances are, they're living it better. ~ Shaun David Hutchinson
Special Friend quotes by Shaun David Hutchinson
Which brings us to a little book that may provide a clue to the cure. My wife got it as a gift from a friend. It is titled Porn for Women. It's a picture book of hunks, photographed in all their chiseled, muscle-bound, testosterone-marinated, PG-rated glory. Lots of naked chests and low-cut jeans, complete with tousled hair and beckoning eyes. And they are ALL doing housework. There's a picture of a well-cut Adonis, and he's loading the washing machine. The caption reads: "As soon as I finish the laundry, I'll do the grocery shopping. And I'll take the kids with me so you can relax." There's another hunk, the cover guy, vacuuming the floor. A particularly athletic-looking man peers up from the sports section and declares, "Ooh, look, the NFL playoffs are today. I bet we'll have no trouble parking at the crafts fair". Porn for Women. Available at a marriage near you. ~ Anonymous
Special Friend quotes by Anonymous
Life doesn't make sense. It's against the law for somebody to steal your bike but apparently it doesn't matter if somebody tries to steal your best friend. Well you can always get a new bike. But how do you replace a best friend ~ Allan Stratton
Special Friend quotes by Allan Stratton
When you're in something as successful as 'Transformers,' you can't use it as a sales piece for your ability as an actress because it's all about the special effects. ~ Megan Fox
Special Friend quotes by Megan Fox
As it was, she gave him the single most important gift a parent can give - "a sense of unconditional love that was big enough that, with all the surface disturbances of our lives, it sustained me, entirely." People wonder about his calm and even-keeled manner, the [P]resident observed. He credited the temperament he was born with and the fact that "from a very early age, I always felt I was loved and that my mother thought I was special. ~ Janny Scott
Special Friend quotes by Janny Scott
Ganix didn't need to make friends. Everyone was a friend! ~ C.J. Milbrandt
Special Friend quotes by C.J. Milbrandt
I think you have forgotten, my young friend, that the blood of the spotless lambs on Passover cover your own sins, too. ~ Tessa Afshar
Special Friend quotes by Tessa Afshar
You have been created to be the unique person you are. You have not been manufactured to be like everyone else. Stop comparing, competing, and conforming! It is time to embrace your differences; this is what makes you unique and special. ~ Deborah Patrick
Special Friend quotes by Deborah Patrick
There is something exciting about saving up for a special treat. Bring back the piggy bank! ~ Sophie Kinsella
Special Friend quotes by Sophie Kinsella
The zeal and virtue of Ali were never outstripped by any recent proselyte. He united the qualifications of a poet, a soldier, and a saint; his wisdom still breathes in a collection of moral and religious sayings; and every antagonist, in the combats of the tongue or of the sword, was subdued by his eloquence and valour. From the first hour of his mission to the last rites of his funeral, the apostle was never forsaken by a generous friend, whom he delighted to name his brother, his vicegerent, and the faithful Aaron of a second Moses. ~ Edward Gibbon
Special Friend quotes by Edward Gibbon
And then, as if something were being torn out of my lungs and needed to be said, I finally found a moment when he was alone to tell him. "I've never had friends, you've been my only friend," I said, speaking these words without even realizing I had said them. What I'd meant to say was, I was your friend, I wish you'd stayed mine. ~ Andre Aciman
Special Friend quotes by Andre Aciman
I love Topsail Island, which my grandparents helped settle in 1950, despite the racial tensions. I wanted to immortalize my deep connection to this special island forever. ~ Rolonda Watts
Special Friend quotes by Rolonda Watts
Not different, but special! ~ Paul Stewart
Special Friend quotes by Paul Stewart
He was still experimenting with kissing girls even though he said he'd rather be kissing boys. That's exactly what he said. I didn't know exactly what to think about that, but Dante was going to be Dante and if I was going to be his friend, I would just have to learn to be okay with it. ~ Benjamin Alire Saenz
Special Friend quotes by Benjamin Alire Saenz
I'm Conrad's brother, and this is
our friend," he said. "Do you know where he is?"
Eric opened the door and let us in. "Dude, I have no idea. He just took off. Did Ari call you?"
"Who's Ari?" I asked Jeremiah.
"The RA," he said.
"Ari the RA," I repeated, and the corners of Jeremiah's mouth turned up. ~ Jenny Han
Special Friend quotes by Jenny Han
I want everybody to think I'm a hard worker as an aunt, a sister, a friend, a daughter, a niece, everything. I want to be great at every role, because every role in my life is as important as being Jessie J. ~ Jessie J.
Special Friend quotes by Jessie J.
With every job I've gotten, I've bought myself something. When 'Glee' was picked up, I rented a piano for the year. For smaller victories, I'll go to dinner with a friend, or go for a walk and think about it all. It's important to say to yourself, Today was a good day. ~ Dianna Agron
Special Friend quotes by Dianna Agron
Demonstrate to the world there is 'No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy' than a U.S. Marine. ~ James Mattis
Special Friend quotes by James Mattis
To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something, that enables a person to jump into one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough. ~ Rupert Everett
Special Friend quotes by Rupert Everett
I married my best friend. And I listen! Ultimately I've been very fortunate - I understand that that doesn't happen for everybody but it happened for us and we take it very seriously. ~ Harry Connick, Jr.
Special Friend quotes by Harry Connick, Jr.
Abraham Lincoln was often criticized for trying to make friends with his enemies instead of trying to get rid of them. He replied, Isn't that what I'm doing when I make an enemy a friend? ~ Sean Covey
Special Friend quotes by Sean Covey
There is something special about a quiet untouched forest that just pulls you into the moment. Something that no parks will ever be able to achieve. Isn't that what we're all searching for in life? To just be happy and content in the moment, to just be there in the "now"? ~ Jon Krakauer
Special Friend quotes by Jon Krakauer
A true friend is tested in adversity. ~ Quintus Ennius
Special Friend quotes by Quintus Ennius
Suze us my oldest, dearest friend, and being with her used to feel like the easiest thing in the world. But now it feels like I'm in a stage play and I've forgotten my lines and she's not about to help me out. ~ Sophie Kinsella
Special Friend quotes by Sophie Kinsella
There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend. ~ Katharine Butler Hathaway
Special Friend quotes by Katharine Butler Hathaway
All the help that comes to us is form the Holy Spirit, whether it comes in a dream or through the help of a friend or doctor. The trick is the discrimination you need: to tell what's good for you and what's not good for you. This comes by listening to your heart. ~ Harold Klemp
Special Friend quotes by Harold Klemp
I'm humbled to follow in the footsteps of Ed Feulner, who built the most important conservative institution in the nation. He has been a friend and mentor for years and I am honored to carry on his legacy of fighting for freedom. ~ Jim DeMint
