“The mark of perfect Friendship is not that help will be given when the pinch comes (of course it will) but that, having been given, it makes no difference at all. It was a distraction, an anomaly. It was a horrible waste of the time, always too short, that we had together. Perhaps we only had a couple of hours in which to talk and, God bless us, twenty minutes of it had to be devoted to affairs!”
The Four Loves, C. S. Lewis
Good book. Very good book.
Yes indeed. It can be a little one-sided–after all it’s just one man’s educated musings on the entirety of the concept of love–but his insights are priceless at times.
True.
