Quote by Charles Caleb Colton

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - neve

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that while a friendship has the potential to develop into a romantic love, the reverse is not possible. It suggests that once love is established in a relationship, whether it be romantic or platonic, a genuine friendship can no longer exist. Love, being a deeper and more intense emotion, tends to bring complexities that may alter the dynamics of a friendship, making it nearly impossible to revert back to a purely platonic bond. Therefore, the bond between friendship and love is portrayed as asymmetric, with the possibility of friendship evolving into love but love extinguishing the possibility of maintaining friendship.
