Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship, never.
Photo: Brierley. Meaning: The saying fits within a classical Western tradition of thought that views friendship and love as fundamentally different affective relationships. In philosophy, friendship is often seen as based on mutual esteem and equality, while love is characterized by passion, exclusivity, and a deeper form of longing. The proverb suggests that these two forms of affection are not equally interchangeable and that love represents an irreversible state that fundamentally changes a relationship. Source: Originating from Charles Caleb Colton (1780–1832), an English clergyman, writer, and collector known for his eccentric character.
