The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you, so when you start trying to count them on one hand, you don’t need any fingers.

Meaning of the quote

In this quote, Larry Flynt says that the words 'love' and 'friendship' are often used too casually. A real friend is someone who would be willing to sacrifice their life for you. If you can count your true friends on just one hand, then you don't have very many at all.
