Plato

The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it's almost impossible to stamp out.

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens.

Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

Life must be lived as play.

Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.
