Summary
This quote suggests that the concept of love, represented by Eros, is primarily driven by physical attraction and the desire for intimacy. In contrast, friendship is characterized by a deeper connection and understanding between individuals, as it focuses on one's personality and true self rather than their physical appearance. The quote highlights the distinction between romantic relationships, which may be based on superficial attractions, and genuine friendships, which are rooted in emotional connections and shared values.
