A Friend's Heart

This is the very first quote I ever saved. I read it when I was about 15 and it had a profound effect on my life.

The Lagoon
by Joseph Conrad

"...For where can we lay down the heaviness of our trouble but in a friend's heart? A man must speak of war and of love....A writing may be lost, a lie may be written; but what the eye has seen is truth and remains in the mind!"
