A woman can only become a man's friend after having first been his acquaintance and then his beloved - then she becomes his friend. - Anton Chekhov (Uncle Vanya Quotes)

A woman can only become a man’s friend after having first been his acquaintance and then his beloved – then she becomes his friend.[Женщина может быть другом мужчины лишь в такой последовательности: сначала приятель, потом любовница, а затем уж друг.]
