A Correct answer
Explanation

This quote is from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Book IX, Chapter 9), defining true friendship as unity between two people. Aristotle distinguishes between friendship of utility, pleasure, and virtue; this quote refers to the highest form, virtuous friendship between kindred souls. Socrates was Plato's teacher (wrote no works himself), and Achilles was a mythological warrior, not a philosopher.
