wisdom from plato


"...the soul of every man does posess the power of learning the truth and the organ to see it with; just as one might have to turn the whole body round in order that the eye should see the light instead of darkness, so the entire soul must be turned away from this changing world, until its eye can bear to contemplate reality and that supreme splendor which we have called the good."

- plato, 'republic'
