Quote by George Eliot
Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?
Summary
This quote suggests that occasional disagreements or arguments are not signs of a damaged friendship, but rather seen as a natural part of it. It implies that expressing anger or frustration at times is necessary for maintaining an authentic and genuine friendship. The quote implies that suppressing emotions in a relationship may hinder the connection, and true friendship allows for open and honest expression of feelings, including occasional bouts of rage or conflict.
