Quote by Clifton Paul Fadiman
One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.
Summary
This quote suggests that true friendship is not solely based on the quantity of topics friends can discuss, but rather on the deep understanding between them to the point where certain things no longer need to be mentioned. In genuine friendships, there is an unspoken understanding and a level of mutual trust and familiarity that allows friends to have a shared understanding without explicitly discussing certain matters. It implies that the strength of a friendship can be measured by the comfort and connection that exists beyond words.
