"May the best of yourself or for your friend," Khalil Gibran

This collection of texts and poems about friendship is tasted like a mille-feuille. Trying too hard to chew with speed, custard overflowing, icing sugar whitens your face and makes you sneeze. This is the disadvantage of this type of exercise to want to give a lot of generosity, but too quickly, without time intellectual breathing.

Saint-Exupéry ("The Little Prince"), Fred Uhlman ("The Friend Found"), Jacques de Lacretelle ("Silbermann"), Henri Pierre Roché ("Jules and Jim") make up the first chapter: "You will for I unique in the world. "

Kalil Gibran ("The Prophet"), Michel de Montaigne ("Testing"), St. Augustine ("Confessions"), Jean de La Fontaine ("Two Friends"), Molière ("The Misanthrope"), Pascal ("Thoughts ") weave the second chapter:" Your friend is your aspirations filled. "

Albert Camus ("The Plague"), Emile Zola ("The Downfall"), Roger Martin du Gard ("The gray notebook"), Denis Diderot ("The two friends Bourbonne") conclude: "Do you want this time is that of friendship? "

It is interesting to read excerpts of works (most read) along a given axis. Here, praised the friendship is worth the sacrifice.
