More quotes by Plato
[The Cretans have] more wit than words.
Plato
Love consists in feeling the Sacred One beating inside the loved one.
Plato
The choice of souls was in most cases based on their own experience of a previous life... Knowledge easily acquired is that which the enduing self had in an earlier life, so that it flows back easily.
Plato
As it is, the lover of inquiry must follow his beloved wherever it may lead him.
Plato
Better to complete a small task well, than to do much imperfectly.
Plato
For when there are no words, it is very difficult to recognize the meaning of the harmony and rhythm, or to see any worldly object is imitated by them.
Plato
We are like people looking for something they have in their hands all the time we're looking in all directions except at the thing we want, which is probably why we haven't found it.
Plato
The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it's almost impossible to stamp out.
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
We ought to live sacrificing, and singing, and dancing.
Plato
Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself.
Plato
All who do evil and dishonorable things do them against their will.
Plato
The true runner comes to the finish and receives the prize and is crowned.
Plato
The Earth is like one of those balls made of twelve pieces of skin.
Plato
If there is no contradictory impression, there is nothing to awaken reflection
Plato
Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.
Plato
Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.
Plato
For the rhapsode ought to interpret the mind of the poet to his hearers, but how can he interpret him well unless he knows what he means?
Plato
Welcome out of the cave, my friend. It's a bit colder out here, but the stars are just beautiful.
Plato
I would have you imagine, then, that there exists in the mind of man a block of wax... and that we remember and know what is imprinted as long as the image lasts but when the image is effaced, or cannot be taken, then we forget or do not know.
Plato
