Friendship

Cicero, Letters to His Friends 3.10.9 (tr. W. Glynn Williams):
Moreover, how strong are the bonds that bind me to you—and I rejoice in the bondage—the similarity of our tastes, the sweetness of our intimacy, our joy in life, and in the way we live it, the mutual pleasure we find in conversation, and our deeper literary researches.

quid? illa vincula, quibus quidem libentissime astringor, quanta sunt! studiorum similitudo, suavitas consuetudinis, delectatio vitae atque victus, sermonis societas, litterae interiores.
