Well, let's see. I heard Father John Riccardo say something to that effect. and I thought he cited the Greeks for part of that but the rest it seems, can also go to good old C.S. Lewis: “True friends don’t spend time gazing into each other’s eyes. They may show great tenderness towards each other but they face in the same direction - toward common projects, goals - above all, towards a common Lord.”

― C.S. Lewis
