レストランの下げ膳係のように、友達はあなたの人生に現れては去って行く。最後に彼と会ってからもう十年以上になるが、私はこれからもずっと彼のことを想い続けるだろう。十二歳の時の彼らのような友人には、その後一度も出逢うことはなかった。 - スティーヴン・キング (1947 - ): 『スタンド・バイ・ミー』

Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant. Although I haven't seen him in more than ten years, I know I'll miss him forever. I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. - Stephen (Edwin) King (1947 - ): Stand by Me
