The firmest friendship is based on an identity of likes and dislikes.

To like and dislike the same things, that is indeed true friendship

We're not handed situations based on our established likes and dislikes; we get what's available.

I like man, but not men

It's better to do things you like than to think about what you don't like.

To set up what you like against what you dislike, this is the disease of the mind.
