    I think this quote is true because if the person, for example your friend doesn’t respect you, you might not want to spend time with that friend. If that friend isn’t nice to you, maybe you wouldn’t be friends with that “friend”. I wouldn’t want to spent time with a person who doesn’t respect you. So, I think this quote is true.
