There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.

Summary

This quote suggests that true and genuine friendships are rare to find, as there is a scarcity of individuals who possess the qualities that nourish deep connections.

It emphasizes the importance of cherishing and valuing the few authentic friendships we do have in our lives.
