Plato Quotes - Page 11

• Today you can buy the Dialogues of Plato for less than you would spend on a fifth of whiskey, or Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire for the price of a cheap shirt. You can buy a fair beginning of an education in any bookstore with a good stock of paperback books for less than you would spend on a week's supply of gasoline.

• Ways of loving from a distance, mating without even touching-Amor platonicus! The ladder of love one is expected to climb higher and higher, elating the Self and the Other. Plato clearly regards any actual physical contact as corrupt and ignoble because he thinks the true goal of Eros is beauty. Is there no beauty in sex? Not according to Plato. He is after `more sublime pursuits.' But if you ask me, I think Plato's problem, like those of many others, was that he never got splendidly laid.

• I often think . . . that the bookstores that will save civilization are not online, nor on campuses, nor named Borders, Barnes & Noble, Dalton, or Crown. They are the used bookstores, in which, for a couple of hundred dollars, one can still find, with some diligence, the essential books of our culture, from the Bible and Shakespeare to Plato, Augustine, and Pascal.

• Todo lo bueno de nuestra historia está reunido en las bibliotecas. En este momento, Plato está ahí abajo, en la biblioteca, esperándonos. También Aristotle. Spinoza está allí y también Kats. Shelly y Byron y Sam Johnson están allí esperándonos para contarnos sus magníficas historias. Basta con entrar por la puerta de la biblioteca para que la gran compañía te abra los brazos. Se alegran tanto de verte que salen contigo a la calle y a tu casa. Y hacen lo que casi ningún amigo haría: se callan cuando deseas pensar.

• Siempre que una persona se esfuerza, con la ayuda de la dialéctica, por iniciar la búsqueda de toda realidad mediante un simple proceso de la razón, independiente de toda información sensual -sin vacilar nunca, hasta que por un acto de la inteligencia pura ha captado la verdadera naturaleza del bien-, llega al fin mismo del mundo intelectual.

• Is it not also true that no physician, in so far as he is a physician, considers or enjoins what is for the physician's interest, but that all seek the good of their patients? For we have agreed that a physician strictly so called, is a ruler of bodies, and not a maker of money, have we not?

• A writer must always try to have a philosophy and he should also have a psychology and a philology and many other things. Without a philosophy and a psychology and all these various other things he is not really worthy of being called a writer. I agree with Kant and Schopenhauer and Plato and Spinoza and that is quite enough to be called a philosophy. But then of course a philosophy is not the same thing as a style.

• ...¿por qué Plato decía que había que echar a los poetas de la república? Precisamente porque todo poeta y todo artista es un ser antisocial. No es así porque quiera; no puede ser de otra manera.... y si realmente es un artista está en su naturaleza no querer ser admitido, porque si es admitido sólo puede significar que está haciendo algo que se entiende, se aprueba y, por lo tanto, está pasado de moda: no vale nada. Cualquier cosa nueva, cualquier cosa que valga la pena hacer, no puede ser reconocida.

• Hay una mente común a todos los hombres individuales. Cada hombre es una entrada a la misma y a todas las mismas. Aquel que una vez es admitido al derecho de la razón es hecho un hombre libre de todo el estado. Lo que Plato ha pensado, puede pensarlo; lo que un santo ha sentido, puede sentirlo; lo que en cualquier momento le ha sucedido a cualquier hombre, puede comprenderlo. Quien tiene acceso a esta mente universal es parte en todo lo que es o puede ser hecho, porque éste es el único y soberano agente
