Only your friends steal your books

Only your friends steal your books

Summary

This quote suggests that those closest to us, our friends, are often the ones who borrow or take our books without permission. It implies that friends may feel more at ease taking something without asking because of the familiarity and trust in the relationship. However, it also hint at the idea that friends have an understanding and shared connection, which may enable them to feel comfortable borrowing items they know the owner wouldn't mind. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the unique dynamic between friends, where boundaries might sometimes be blurred but also suggests a level of reciprocity and shared possessions.
