Quote by Plutarch
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
Summary
This quote highlights the speaker's disappointment in a friend who lacks true loyalty and authenticity. The person craves a friend who stays steadfast and supports them even during their changing moments. The comment about the shadow is an analogy emphasizing that even a mere shadow mimics one's movements and actions but lacks the depth of a genuine human connection. The speaker desires a companion who remains genuine and supportive throughout life's changes, rather than succumbing to conformity or agreement.
