Plato

“Indeed. Every regime educates the soul. A democracy produces one type of citizen. An oligarchy another. A tyranny another still.”

“The rulers emerge from the culture that produced them.”

“And then truth becomes secondary. The question ceases to be: “Is it true?” It becomes: “Who said it?””

“A civilization should fear that moment.”

“The greatest threat is the belief that conversation is no longer necessary.”
