Socrates
Image
I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do.

Socrates
Image
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.
Socrates
Image
If you will take my advice you will think little of Socrates, and a great deal more of truth.
Socrates
Image
Only the extremely ignorant or the extremely intelligent can resist change.
Socrates
Image
If a man comes to the door of poetry untouched by the madness of the Muses, believing that technique alone will make him a good poet, he and his sane compositions never reach perfection, but are utterly eclipsed by the performances of the inspired madman.
Socrates
Image
It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka areté) every day...for the unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates
Image
The universe really is motion & nothing else.
Socrates
Image
Nobody knows what death is, nor whether to man it is perchance the greatest of blessings, yet people fear it as if they surely knew it to be the worse of evils.
Socrates
