About This Quote
You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who’s a friend. This is a saying that teaches us to love others as we would be loved. What is the difference between a stranger and a friend? A stranger is someone who you do not know very well, but you know they are a stranger.
A friend is someone who really knows you and cares about you as much as you care about them. Rather than keeping your love for your fellow human beings as strangers, be careful that you do not let them become strangers to yourself as well.
