When the ways of friends converge, the whole world looks like home for an hour
HERMAN HESSE
Quoted in Mark Vernon's The Philosophy of Friendship.
Mark Vernon's book is a recent, intelligent and accessible exploration of friendship, taking its cue from Aristotle's distinction between three kinds of friendships - those based on utility, friendship and a genuine admiration and caring for each other. Mark Vernon also has a podcast on Aristotle's theory of friendship
