About This Quote
It is said that summer is the season of love, but autumn is the season of friendship. The true meaning of this quote is that the beauty of the season brings people together to enjoy all the beauty it has to offer. Friends who are in love will naturally be drawn together by the love they share, but friends who are not in love will be drawn together by their shared enjoyment of all things beautiful in nature. The beauty of autumn makes it possible for people to get along with each other and appreciate one another's company even when there is no romantic interest going on.
