"So the well educated man can learn..." - Quote by Plato

“The truth is that we isolate a particular kind of love and appropriate it for the name of love, which really belongs to a wider whole.”

“And isn't it a bad thing to be deceived about the truth, and a good thing to know what the truth is? For I assume that by knowing the truth you mean knowing things as they really are.”

“Was not this ... what we spoke of as the great advantage of wisdom -- to know what is known and what is unknown to us?”

“We must be warriors in the struggle against ignorance”

“In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.”

“When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.”

“The young should be dutiful at home, modest abroad, careful and true, overflowing in kindness for all, but in brotherhood with love. And if they have strength to spare they should spend it on the arts.”

“Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.”

“The theater is necessary. Dance is necessary. Song is necessary. The arts are necessary- they are a necessary part of our lives”
