Friendship, then, like the other natural loves, is unable to save itself. In reality, because it is spiritual and therefore faces a subtler enemy, it must, even more wholeheartedly than they, invoke the divine protection if it hopes to remain sweet.

Is must not become what the people call a mutual admiration society; yet if it is not full of mutual admiration, of Appreciative love, it is not Friendship at all. ✨ C. S. Lewis (1971). The Four Loves, p.100, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
