meaning of a quote
Hi
Please tell me what this means.
To remember friendship is to recall those conversations that it seemed a sin to break off: the ones that made the sacrifice of the following day a trivial one.
This is quote by Christopher Hitchens in the magazine Reader's Digest

No, not two kinds of conversation, only one: conversations between good friends, which were very interesting, and it was disappointing to have to end them. Those conversations lasted through the night, so the next day was 'lost' through tiredness.
