Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -
the ones that last -
are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon,

when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.
