Friendship quote by Judith Martin

Pino Daeni painting

Perhaps the greatest rudenesses of our time come
not from the callousness of strangers, but from
the solicitousness of intimates who believe that
their frank criticisms are always welcome, and who
feel free to “be themselves”with those they love,
which turns out to mean being their worst selves,
while saving their best behavior for strangers.
