Top 10 Fred Uhlman Quotes (2025 Update)

Fred Uhlman Quote: “Until his arrival I had been without a friend. There wasn’t one boy in my class who I believed could live up to my romantic ideal of friendship, not one whom I really admired, for whom I would have been willing to die and who could have understood my demand for complete trust, loyalty and self-sacrifice.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “Now the crucial question no longer seemed to be what life was, but what one was to do with this valueless, yet somehow uniquely valuable life?”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “His pleasure at seeing me was so genuine, so unmistakable, that even I, with my inbred suspicions, lost all fear.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “He came into my life in February 1932 and never left it again. More than a quarter of a century has passed since then, more than nine thousand days, desultory and tedious, hollow with the sense of effort or work without hope- days and years, many of them as dead as dry leaves on a dead tree. I can remember the day and the hour when I first set eyes on this boy who was to be the source of my greatest happiness and of my greatest despair.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “Standing quite still I looked at him. Needless to say Konradin hadn’t giggled. He hadn’t clapped either. But he looked at me.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “When I had almost reached him he turned and smiled at me. Then, with a strangely gauche and still hesitant movement, he shook my trembling hand. “Hello, Hans”, he said, and suddenly I realised to my joy and relief and amazement that he was as shy and as much in need of a friend as I.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “How would he in all his glory ever be able to understand my shyness, my suspicious pride and my fear of being hurt?”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “All I knew, then, was that he was going to be my friend. Everything attracted me to him.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “Everything about him aroused my curiosity: the care with which he selected his pencils, the way he sat – erect, as if at any moment he might have to get up and give an order to an invisible army – and how he stroked his blond hair. I only relaxed when he, like everyone else, got bored and fidgeted whilst waiting for the bell for the interval between lessons.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “Many of our discussions took place as we walked up and down the streets, sat on benches or stood in doorways taking shelter from the rain.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “I studied his proud, finely carved face, and indeed no lover could have watched Helen of Troy more intently or could have been more convinced of his own inferiority.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “I can’t remember much of what Konradin said to me that day or what I said to him. All I know is that we walked up and down for an hour, like two young lovers, still nervous, still afraid of each other; but somehow I knew that this was only a beginning and that from now on my life would no longer be empty and dull but full of hope and richness for us both.”
Fred Uhlman Quote: “Then his proud bearing, his manners, his elegance, his good looks – and who could be altogether insensitive to them? – powerfully suggested to me that here at last I had found someone who came up to my ideal of a friend.”
