Quote by George Santayana

Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.

Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind

Summary

This quote highlights the concept of friendship being a connection between specific aspects or shared interests between individuals. It suggests that friendships are formed based on commonalities rather than solely a complete understanding of each other's minds. It implies that people become friends because they connect on certain levels, yet may differ in other aspects. Thus, friendships are fragmented unions, where each friend complements the other in specific areas, reflecting the idea that people are friends only in certain spots.
