Plato quotes

That’s another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it’s as if things were coming together in my mind. It’s like the Platonic idea that all learning was remembering. You have a nature, and when you feel that nature articulated, it’s it’s like the act of snapping the puzzle pieces together.

Plato was a bore.

Plato is my friend; Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.

The first book I ever really read was Plato’s ‚Republic,‘ and then I had to go over that five times or something.

I read Plato’s ‚Republic.‘ I read it through about five times until I could actually understand it.

If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.

Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
