Plato

Plato (c. 427-347 BCE)

“If you really want to know what morality is, then don’t just ask questions and look for applause by refuting any and every answer you get, because you’ve realized that it’s easier to ask questions than it is to answer them.”

  • From Republic by Plato, translated by Robin Waterfield. Oxford/New York: Oxford University Press, 1994, 2008.
