Best friend Quote by Fran Lebowitz

“People who get married because they're in love make a ridiculous mistake. It makes much more sense to marry your best friend. You like your best friend more than anyone you're ever going to be in love with. You dont choose your best friend because they have a cute nose.” quote by Fran Lebowitz
