This explain two circumstances. First of all, it shows why it is thatcommon, ordinary people are so sociable and find good company whereverthey go. Ah! those good, dear, brave people. It is just the contrarywith those who are not of the common run; and the less they are so, the more unsociable they become; so that if, in their isolation, theychance to come across some one in whose nature they can find evena single sympathetic chord, be it never so minute, they showextraordinary pleasure in his ...society. For one man can be to anotheronly so much as the other is to him. Great minds are like eagles, andbuild their nest in some lofty solitude. Secondly, we are enabled to understand how it is that people of likedisposition so quickly get on with one another, as though they weredrawn together by magnetic force--kindred souls greeting each otherfrom afar. Of course the most frequent opportunity of observing thisis afforded by people of vulgar tastes and inferior intellect, butonly because their name is legion; while those who are better off inthis respect and of a rarer nature, are not often to be met with: theyare called rare because you can seldom find them.
