Friendship Quotes in The Golem and the Jinni

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

[Arbeely] had many acquaintances, but few close friends. (2.81)

The supernatural characters aren't the only ones who have trouble making friends—Arbeely seems to be more focused on his business than he is on friendship.

Quote #2

Slowly, over days and weeks, the Golem and Rabbi Meyer learned how to live with each other. (4.1)

Even though the Rabbi takes the Golem in, and even though the Golem was basically made to please a man, they grow together as friends, not as lovers.

Quote #3

"Please call me Maryam," she said, and there was a friendly smile in her voice. "Everyone does." (5.106)

Maryam isn't the type of person who seems to just be doling out acts of kindness for kudos, but instead she seems to be a true friend to people in need, in this case Saleh.
