Friendship craves
The commerce of the mind, not the exchange
Of emulous feasts that foster sycophants.

Savonarola (1881)

Friendship, 'tis said, is love without his wings,
And friendship, sir, is sweet enough for me.

Savonarola (1881)

[P]eople who canalise their lives and prearrange their enjoyments lose much of the enchantment which attends the guiding beneficence of chance.

Lamia's Winter-Quarters (1898)
