 SOUL MATES

'M taking up Bergson this week. Next week I'm going to take up Etruscan vases and the Montessori system.

Oh, no, I haven't lost my interest in sociology.

Only the other night we went down in the auto and watched the bread line.

Of course, one can take up too many things.

It's the spirit in which you take a thing up that counts.

Sometimes I think the spirit in which you take a thing up counts more than the thing itself—counts in its effect on you, you know.

Of course, the way to get the real meaning out of any thing is to put yourself in a receptive attitude.

In serious things the attitude counts for every thing. One mustn't scoff.

If you look at it seriously and scientifically you ll see there's a great deal more than you suspected in all this affinity and soul mate craze, for instance.

Not that I care much for the words "soul mate" [59]
