More quotes by Plato

Plato
Books are immortal sons deifying their sires.
Plato
Time is the moving imago of the unmoving eternity.
Plato
Cooking is a form of flattery....a mischievous, deceitful, mean and ignoble activity, which cheats us by shapes and colors, by smoothing and draping.
Plato
Thus does the Muse herself move men divinely inspired, and through them thus inspired a Chain hangs together of others inspired divinely likewise.
Plato
The greatest privilege of a human life is to become a midwife to the awakening of the Soul in another person.
Plato
The only thing worse than suffering an injustice is committing an injustice.
Plato
The worst form of injustice is pretended justice.
Plato
Violent pleasures which reach the soul through the body are generally of this sort-they are reliefs of pain.
Plato
