![“[Friendship] is a relationship that has no formal shape, there are no rules or obligations or bonds as in marriage or the family, it is held together by neither law nor property nor blood, there is no glue in it but mutual liking. It is therefore rare.” quote by Wallace Stegner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9b6/wallace-stegner-1352_blood_friendship-is-a-relationship-that-has-no_2197289.jpg)
