Text Quotes
The atomists, unlike Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, sought to explain the world without introducing the notion of purpose or final cause  (Plato Quotes) I have found that fate is as liquid and elusive a word as love. Plato thought they were the same... Novalis wrote that fate and soul are two names for the same principle  (Plato Quotes) Plato described ordinary life as unthinking, lived in a dim cave of shadowy reflections, but said that it is possible to leave the cave and see things in sunlit clarity as they actually are  (Plato Quotes) Plato... says a multitude can never philosophize and hence can never recognize the seriousness of philosophy or who really philosophizes. Attempting to influence the multitude results in forced prostitution  (Plato Quotes) Plato found fault that the poets of his time filled the world with wrong opinions of the gods, making light tales of that unspotted essence, and therefore would not have the youth depraved with such opinions  (Plato Quotes) Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook  (Plato Quotes) Plato says that the unexamined life is not worth living. But what if the examined life turns out to be a clunker as well?  (Plato Quotes) Plato was disturbed by written discourse because … if an individual goes to it with a question in his mind, it always gives one unvarying answer  (Plato Quotes) If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics  (Plato Quotes) Every theory of love, from Plato down teaches that each individual loves in the other sex what he lacks in himself  (Plato Quotes) I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate  (Plato Quotes) We could live at the present day without a Plato, but a double number of Newtons is required to discover the secrets of nature, and to bring life into harmony with the laws of nature  (Plato Quotes) I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden  (Plato Quotes) Plato stands for the union of truth and goodness in the supreme idea of God  (Plato Quotes) Once Ptolemy and Plato, yesterday Newton, today Einstein, and tomorrow new faiths, new beliefs, and new dimensions  (Plato Quotes) You must read Plato. But you must hold him at arm’s length and say, ‘Plato, you have delighted and edified mankind for two thousand years. What have you to say to me?  (Plato Quotes) I read your piece on Plato. Holmes, when you strike at a king, you must kill him  (Plato Quotes) It is by no means certain that we advance our philosophical quest by reading Plato or Aristotle. It may increase our knowledge of history but not of the world  (Plato Quotes) The only good thing that we owe to Plato and Aristotle is that they brought forward many arguments which we can use against the heretics. Yet they and other philosophers are now in hell  (Plato Quotes) Beauty ensnares hearts, captures minds, and stirs up emotional wildfires. From Plato to pinups, images of human beauty have catered to a limitless desire to see and imagine an ideal human form  (Plato Quotes) When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?  (Plato Quotes) You read the pragmatists and all you know is: not Descartes, not Kant, not Plato. It’s like aspirin. You can’t use aspirin to give yourself power, you take it to get rid of headaches. In that way, pragmatism is a philosophical therapy. It helps you stop asking the unhelpful questions  (Plato Quotes) John Adams was a farmer, Abraham Lincoln a small town lawyer. Plato and Socrates were teachers. Jesus was a carpenter. To equate wisdom and judgement with occupation is at best insulting  (Plato Quotes) I am convinced with Plato , with St. Paul, with St. Augustine, with Calvin , and with Leibnitz, that this universe, and every smallest portion of it, exactly fulfils the purpose for which Almighty God designed it.  (Plato Quotes) In general, I distrust philosophy. Plato recommended chasing poets from the city; the ‘great’ Heidegger was a Nazi; Lukacs was a communist; and J. P. Sartre wrote: ‘Any anti-communist is a dog.’  (Plato Quotes) Democracy - or any improvement on it - will rest on the layman’s right to criticize. His criticism will be often - very often - damn silly, but if, like Plato and the Fascists, we take away his right to criticize, we take away his right to appreciate.  (Plato Quotes) Socrates condemned art because he preferred philosophy and only after much internal struggle did Plato accept this judgment.  (Plato Quotes) Let us suppose, that the Old and New worlds were formerly but one continent, and that, by a violent earthquake, the ancient Atalantis [sic] of Plato was sunk ... The sea would necessarily rush in from all quarters, and form what is now called the Atlantic ocean.  (Plato Quotes) If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.  (Plato Quotes) Plato was only a Bernard Shaw who unfortunately made his jokes in Greek  (Plato Quotes)
