Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Familiarity can sometimes hide the truth about our connections with others.
This quote by Mary Tyler Moore suggests that even when we think we know someone well, deeper understanding can reveal the paradox that we may not truly know them at all. It emphasizes the complexities of human relationships, where surface-level familiarity can obscure the true nature of an individual and their inner thoughts or feelings.
