About This Quote
When people hate one another and wish to destroy the other person, friends become enemies and enemies become friends. The greatest love story ever told began as enemies. It was a love story between two men who saw eye to eye and wanted to hurt each other. Their hate for one another was so strong that they could not stay away from one another for a single night.
They were determined to take their hatred out on each other and made sure to do anything they could to destroy the other person. In this quote, William Shakespeare refers to a “man and wife” that lives together as a married couple. There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
