It does not follow, however, that a man must confine himself solely to the artistic or intellectual life.

To read the views of Aristotle on friendship and never to have had any real friendships is also but leading an incomplete life. Literature is real and to read and write it is to live. * * * * * Transcriber's Notes: Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. Obvious printer's errors corrected.
