Your friend is your needs answered.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
For what [are] your friend[s] that you should seek [them] with hours to kill?
Seek [them] with hours to live.
For it is [theirs] to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
— Kahlil Gibran on “Friendship” in The Prophet
