What then do the upholders of the former view mean, and in what sense is it true? Perhaps
the explanation of it is that most men think of friends as being people who are useful to
us. Now it is true that the supremely happy man will have no need of friends of that kind,
inasmuch as he is supplied with good things already. Nor yet will he want friends of the
pleasant sort, or only to a very small extent, for his life is intrinsically pleasant and
has no need of adventitious pleasure. And as he does not need useful or pleasant friends,
it is assumed that he does not require friends at all.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
