Rachel CohnIt's bullshit to think of friendship and romance as being different. They're not. They're just variations of the same love. Variations of the same desire to be close.
About This Quote
The translation of this quote is: “Friendship and romance are not different from each other. They are the same things, they differ only in degree.” We all desire close relationships with others. We want to be close to our family, our friends, our romantic partners. Romance and friendship are closely related to one another.
They can both be described as a close relationship between two people. A romantic relationship is a romantic friendship. People who have platonic friends can also have platonic romantic relationships – it’s just not as popular as a friendship with benefits.
