Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables.

Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables.

Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of finding true and loyal friends is often elusive and can feel like a mere fantasy. It implies that friendships as we imagine them, built on trust and companionship, may not always be a reality. Instead, it implies that genuine friendships are rare and may seem like figments of our imagination or stories that we have heard. It paints a somewhat pessimistic view of the difficulty in finding genuine human connections and the skepticism that may arise from this challenge.
