Somewhere between a friend and acquaintance—a frequaintance, as it were.

Rachel Cohn

The dividing line [between friends and acquaintances] is communication, I think. A friend is someone to whom you can say any jackass thing that enters your mind. With acquaintances, you are forever aware of their slightly unreal image of you, and to keep them content, you edit yourself to fit. Many marriages are between acquaintances. You can be with a person for three hours of your life and have a friend. Another will remain an acquaintance for thirty years.

John D. MacDonald

An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.

E. A. Bucchianeri

Where a blood relation sobs, an intimate friend should choke up, a distant acquaintance should sigh, a stranger should merely fumble sympathetically with his handkerchief.

Mark Twain

Hope is a pleasant acquaintance, but an unsafe friend.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

It is always a delicate matter, when a friend or acquaintance becomes president.

Gore Vidal

The social pressure from friend and acquaintance to collude, to not notice racism, can be quite powerful.

Beverly Daniel Tatum

Not until you become a stranger to yourself will you be able to make acquaintance with the Friend.

Mark Twain

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.

Franklin P. Jones

It is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed.

James Prescott Joule

Hope is a pleasant acquaintance, but an unsafe friend, not the man for your banker, though he may do for a traveling companion.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

The mere process of growing old together will make the slightest acquaintance seem a bosom friend.

Ed Koch

Acquaintance many, and conquaintance few, But for inquaintance I know only two - The friend I've wept and the maid I woo.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I get to be the nosiest friend or acquaintance that anyone has because it's - my job is to ask you about your dating life all the time.

Sam Yagan

After an acquaintance of ten minutes many women will exchange confidences that a man would not reveal to a lifelong friend

Page Smith

I wouldn't say I'm a friend of David Byrne, but I guess I'm an acquaintance. I'm obviously an admirer, and we've met, but we don't call and chat about 'Breaking Bad' or anything.

James Murphy
