About This Quote

Jason snapped his fingers. “I can call a friend for a ride.”Percy raised his eyebrows. “Oh, yeah? Me too. Let's see whose friend gets here first.’ People often choose to spend time with another person because that person makes them feel good about themselves.

It's the feeling that you're not enough by yourself that can make you feel like crap and do all kinds of evil things to others. The more he is with the other person, the more self-esteem he has and the better he feels about himself. "Okay, I'll call a friend for a ride" is an example of a phrase that is used by kids or teenagers and is very common and simple and serves as a reminder of the power of friendship and how it can make one feel better about oneself.
