“True friendship can exist only between equals.”
― Plato

“You fixed yourself. You didn’t need me.��

“No, Sydney.�� My voice was ragged. “I do need you. You have no idea how much I need you.”
― Richelle Mead, The Fiery Heart

“I also had to come tonight to apologize. If you need to go to Mexico to finish this process off, then I understand. I was wrong to criticize you for it or even imply that I had some kind of say in it. One of the greatest things about you is that in the end, you always make smart decisions. Can’t always say the same for myself. Whatever you need to do, I’ll support you.”
― Richelle Mead, The Indigo Spell

“You have to start treating your employees as equals and start sharing things with honesty. By doing so, it will make them feel a part of the project, but it will also make them think of new and improved ways of doing the same things.”
― Pooja Agnihotri, 17 Reasons Why Businesses Fail :Unscrew Yourself From Business Failure

“Absolute equals nothingness.”
― Dejan Stojanovic

“There has never been upon the earth a generation of free men and women. It is not yet time to write a creed. Wait until the chains are broken—until dungeons are not regarded as temples. Wait until solemnity is not mistaken for wisdom—until mental cowardice ceases to be known as reverence. Wait until the living are considered the equals of the dead—until the cradle takes precedence of the coffin. Wait until what we know can be spoken without regard to what others may believe. Wait until teachers take the place of preachers—until followers become investigators. Wait until the world is free before you write a creed.

In this creed there will be but one word—Liberty.”
― Robert G. Ingersoll, The Liberty Of Man, Woman And Child

“No one man should be viewed as having more to offer the world than another. We are all equals and every human being has something of value in their composition which makes them unique �� just as every country has their own unique resources to share with the world. Never discount somebody based on material wealth, true wealth is what cannot be seen. Never discount a country by their size or resources, while their resources may greatly benefit other lands in need.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Life = Risk.
If you haven't failed, you have lived.”
― Peiri Ann

“But metaphors set up not only similarities but also oppositions. A cup and a shield are alike in their form (round and concave), but opposite in their function (peace vs. war), just as Ares and Dionysus are alike insofar as they are gods, but opposite with regard to the ends they pursue and to the instruments they use.”
― umberto eco, Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language

“Nature gave the same form to all
And warms each one with the same heat
Using reason, we follow her inclination
To give equal opportunity to our fellow humans
Who are our brothers.

None should seek felicity
To the detriment of his neighbor.
Depriving oneself of a pleasure to offer it to others
Is the sign of a noble heart
And the expression of wisdom.

Thus nature and reason go hand in hand
And ask us to help one another
For the good of all and by common agreement
We share
In the feast of life.”
― Roxanne Moreil, L'âge d'or. Volume 1

“I should wish to see them very good friends, and would, on no account, authorize in my girls the smallest degree of arrogance towards their relations; but still they cannot be equals.�� (10)”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“Don't worry about negative temperatures because minus times minus equals plus. If you are not very good at Maths, then put some rum in the tea.”
― Ljupka Cvetanova, The New Land

“Rosalind knew she was right, knew there was something even deeper that prevented her from going back. Since she began something had always bothered her about tango: she still had no idea how people knew what the hell they were doing. The dance had no agreed upon formula, no designated rules, just collectively shared sequences that a leader could use interchangeably. It was a conversation, not a speech. This was what was so allegedly wonderful about it: it was an improvisation, a negotiation between two people. No choreography, no predetermined pattern, just endless unpredictable new formations. One couldn't dominate the other. It was--if not historically, at least ideally--a dance of equals. This struck her a lovely in principle and crazy-making in practice. How do you know what to do? "The man will lead you," her teachers told her. What if his lead doesn't make sense? "It will. Practice," Mariela had instructed brightly, unhelpfully.”
― Jennifer Vandever, American Tango

“Believing equals trust and trust is becoming.”
― Jazz Feylynn

“By my side. Not beneath or above. Now that truly is the way it was meant to be.”
― Sadie Kincaid, Dante

“Friendships and relationships better prosper among equals.”
― Girdhar Joshi, Some Mistakes Have No Pardon

“Change plus innovation equals progress!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, Become a Better You

“Jag vet mycket litet i kvinnofrågan, ty den rör mig icke, men jag tror, efter vad jag sett, att vår generation kommer avskaffa det asiatiska, som ännu finnes i äktenskapet. Båda parterna avsluta ett fritt fördrag, ingen uppger sin självständighet, den ena söker icke uppfostra den andra, man lär sig respektera varandras svagheter och man har ett kamratskap för livet, som icke tröttar genom den ena partens pockande på ömhet. Fru Nicolaus Falk, du vet, den där välgörande djäveln, den anser jag vara ingenting annat än en femme entretenue, och så betraktar hon ju sig själv också; de flesta fruar gifta sig för att få det bra och slippa arbeta, att bli "sin egen"; att där ingås så få äktenskap, det är kvinnans fel, och mannens!”
― August Strindberg, Röda Rummet

“If I had an opportunity like this, I’d drop you so fast…��. I laugh. “At least you’re honest.��

And I realize that yeah, she really is. That’s the thing about having real friends like Gigi and Sean. You feel like you can tell them the truth about stuff in your life, and they won’t rag on you or try and use it against you, or try to talk you out of it because it doesn’t fit with what they want. If I’d never come to this school, I wouldn’t have ever had that.”
― Alex Flinn, Diva

“There is no greater compliment than to be congratulated by one's peers.”
― George S. Midla "From Love to War"

“We worked as a team. Equals. Whatever lay ahead, we went in together, and we came out together.
Or we didn't at all.”
― Stacey Marie Brown, Blood Lands
