: I was hoping that somebody might have the meaning and origin of the phrase, 'There's a fine line'

'There's a fine line between...' means that the two things mentioned are very close. For example, there's a fine line between genius and madness, or love and hate.

Not much (i.e it is a fine line - as in a thin boundary) lies between them.
