Quote by C.S. Lewis
I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. 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.
Summary

Lewis asserts that friendship, along with other aspects such as art or philosophy, is unnecessary for survival but rather adds value to one's existence. He suggests that friendship is a choice that is freely made for the benefit of enriching and giving meaning to our lives, rather than being a mere necessity for survival.
