You don't love anybody until you love them through tough stuff, until you love them through undue circumstances—the kind of stuff that costs you something. You ain't a real friend until you have to be a friend to somebody who going through something that ain't friendly. When you want to turn away, when you want to look away, when you want to go the opposite side—if you've never been in a circumstance in a situation where the circumstances of your friend caused you to want to go to the other side of the street, you ain't really, really been a friend yet.
