No man of sense can put himself and his soul under the control of names... You must consider courageously and thoroughly and not accept anything care… - Plato

Socrates: But suppose the words used are ‘just’ and ‘good’. Don’t we then go each his own way, and find ourselves in disagreement with ourselves as well as with each other?
Phaedrus: Undoubtedly.

Socrates: ...Can you point out any compelling rhetorical reason why he should have put his arguments together in the order that he has?
Phaedrus: You do me too much honour if you suppose that I am capable of divining his motives so exactly.

A poet, you see, is a light thing, and winged and holy, and cannot compose before he gets inspiration and loses control of his senses and his reason has deserted him.
