Frenemies

"It happened from time to time in my life I would run into people who reacted violently to my presence, to my attitude or looks. I always assumed that this meant that we were of the same type, that our feelings were woven of the same thread. I never held it against them. I would always move on in silence, convinced that we would meet again in the same spirit." 

from Tahar Ben Jelloun's The Sacred Night
