Quote by: Athena  but I am intellectual, and for me that means social isolation. |

Both are just as important. Someone who spends their whole day sitting in a dark basement reading is not healthy, physically and psychologically.

Finally, philosophy can be very important to happiness

I don't like philosophy, but I'm pretty happy. In fact, my happiest moments are also my least intellectual moments.
