"Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with."
and there's another I've read, something about a friend taking your side even when you're wrong.

...weatheringdaleson, I'm not 100% sure your quote is the one but that's because I didn't committed it to memory back then, trusting it would be forever archived in the newsgroup archives but when I looked earlier today strangely enough it was gone! Socrates was right about the illusions of writing! :-)
