Allegory Of The Cave Quotes

“Und nicht wahr, wenn man ihn zwänge, in das Licht selbst zu sehen, so würde er Schmerzen an den Augen haben, davonlaufen und sich wieder jenen Schattengegenständen zuwenden, die er ansehen kann, und würde dabei bleiben, diese wären wirklich deutlicher als die, welche er gezeigt bekam? And if he is compelled to look straight at the light, will he not have a pain in his eyes which will make him turn away to take and take in the objects of vision which he can see, and which he will conceive to be in reality clearer than the things which are now being shown to him?”

“It is the duty of us, the founders, then, said I, to compel the best natures to attain the knowledge which we pronounced the greatest, and to win to the vision of good, to scale the ascent, and when they have reached the heights and taken an adequate view, we must not allow what is now permitted.

“Highly conscious people illuminate paths many never thought to explore Their profound depth of understanding and insight cuts through the illusions, lies, noise of everyday life And clarity of thought and breadth of knowledge enables them to see solutions where others see none It's a distillation of wisdom honed through trials, tribulations, failures and triumphs This is what makes them formidable Not their ability to dominate a conversation, but to transform it To elevate the discourse to realms of thought previously esoteric, obscured or uncharted”
