- Gertrude Stein

About this Quote

This quote by Gertrude Stein speaks to the fragility of friendship. It suggests that friendships can be fleeting and quickly lost. The expression "before the flowers of relationship faded" implies that the friendship was as soon as vibrant and full of life, like a beautiful flower in flower. However, the expression "relationship faded" suggests that the relationship eventually withered away, like a flower that has actually been left in the sun too long. This quote acts as a suggestion that friendships need to be nurtured and taken care of in order to last. It is very important to show gratitude and generosity to those we care about, as it is simple for a relationship to disappear if it is not appropriately preserved.
