Amizade Quote by Anonymous
““Quero insistir em que o que caracteriza e diferencia a amizade do amor não é a inexistência de trocas eróticas. [...] O que caracteriza a amizade é, antes de tudo, seu caráter de afinidade intelectual, provocando um tipo de aconchego também intelectual, enquanto o amor determina aconchego físico, muito menos discriminado e no qual as afinidades podem ou não existir.””
