Dialogue

 1 Phileb|        shall not be far wrong in saying that here, as well as in
 2 Phileb|       and wisdom. Plato has been saying that we should proceed by
 3 Phileb|       his present purpose. He is saying in effect: ‘Admit, if you
 4 Phileb|           Socrates may retort by saying that knowledge is one, but
 5 Phileb|       statement in what I am now saying; for I am not maintaining
 6 Phileb|    bridge over the difficulty by saying that men will always find
 7 Phileb|       the power of the cause,’ a saying in which theology and philosophy
 8 Phileb|           SOCRATES: Philebus was saying that enjoyment and pleasure
 9 Phileb|      with her, as I was just now saying, we must begin, and consider
10 Phileb|          were to say (as you are saying of pleasure) that there
11 Phileb|       nature, there is, as I was saying, a universal consent that
12 Phileb|         infinity. This, as I was saying, is the way of considering
13 Phileb|   clearer notion of what you are saying.~SOCRATES: I may illustrate
14 Phileb|        that what Socrates is now saying is excellent, Philebus.~
15 Phileb|       about these matters; I was saying, that he who begins with
16 Phileb|    Philebus, you may be right in saying so of my ‘mind’; but of
17 Phileb|      them?~SOCRATES: Were we not saying that God revealed a finite
18 Phileb|           For, as I was just now saying, if quantity and measure
19 Phileb|      these subjects, as you were saying, are difficult to follow
20 Phileb|         to offer of what you are saying?~SOCRATES: I will tell you,
21 Phileb|        they too differ, as I was saying, only in name—shall we not?~
22 Phileb|          which you were just now saying to me appears to be blasphemy;
23 Phileb|      pleasures, which as we were saying is purely mental, is entirely
24 Phileb|       case, Socrates, as we were saying, the opinion is false, but
25 Phileb|          pain, as I was just now saying, are often consequent upon
26 Phileb|          guess the right answer, saying as if in a whisper to himself—‘
27 Phileb|      paintings which, as we were saying a little while ago, are
28 Phileb|          And all men, as we were saying just now, are always filled
29 Phileb|   SOCRATES: Then what we are now saying is the opposite of what
30 Phileb|         opposite of what we were saying before.~PROTARCHUS: What
31 Phileb|        Then we were not right in saying, just now, that motions
32 Phileb|      Then when you hear a person saying, that always to live without
33 Phileb|       three, as we were just now saying, or that they are two only—
34 Phileb|     intensely? Am I not right in saying that they have a deeper
35 Phileb|         shall we not be right in saying, that if a person would
36 Phileb|          a bitter, as the common saying is, and both together fasten
37 Phileb|          union which, as we were saying, the mind often experiences
38 Phileb|         May we not say, as I was saying before, that our friends
39 Phileb|         not agree, but, as I was saying, I use them as witnesses,
40 Phileb|       that case you are right in saying that the loss of knowledge
41 Phileb|          shall be quite right in saying that a little pure white
42 Phileb|       life, in which, as we were saying, was neither pleasure nor
43 Phileb|         not quarrel with you for saying that the study of which
44 Phileb|        was not this what we were saying, Protarchus?~PROTARCHUS:
45 Phileb| accurately, in order, as we were saying, that the second place may
46 Phileb|   include music, which, as I was saying just now, is full of guesswork
47 Phileb|         of what I have just been saying, and feeling indignant at
48 Phileb|      truth of what you have been saying is approved by the judgment
