Best friend Quote by J.J. Knight

“Friends are good, too. They're the family you choose, which makes them special. Even if sometimes you look around and you don't remember choosing them. The best friends are the ones who choose you, and don't take no for an answer. You know they're in it for the long haul.” quote by J.J. Knight
