About This Quote

Friendship is not to be sought, not to be dreamed, not to be desired; it is to be exercised (it is a virtue). Friendships are something that we have inside of us. It’s a part of our soul that wants to flourish and grow bigger. Friendship can be a negative or a positive thing.

It is very easy for people who have the wrong kind of friends to become miserable. Yet, there are also people who have the wrong friend and can become their best self because of them. One cannot live without any friendship, you need it or you will suffer from loneliness.
