      But (as the Poet ſaith) Malè ſarta gratia, nequicquam coit, & reſcinditur: Friendſhip, that is but euill peeced, will not ioine cloſe, but falleth aſunder againe:
    • 1816 [1777], James Boswell, quoting Samuel Johnson, The life of Samuel Johnson [] [2], volume 3, T. Cadell and W. Davies, page 181:
      We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
    • 1960, C. S. Lewis, The Four Loves, HarperCollins, published 2010, →ISBN, →OCLC:
      Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
