  1 Repub|        For he certainly does not mean, as we were just now saying,
  2 Repub|          was justice, he did not mean to include that case? ~Certainly
  3 Repub|     friend, and never evil. ~You mean that the return of a deposit
  4 Repub|        of shoes-that is what you mean? ~Yes. ~And what similar
  5 Repub|       use. ~And by contracts you mean partnerships? ~Exactly. ~
  6 Repub|          to be kept safely. ~You mean when money is not wanted,
  7 Repub|        friends and enemies do we mean those who are so really,
  8 Repub|        Thrasymachus, what do you mean? If one of these numbers
  9 Repub|      meaning of this? You cannot mean to say that because Polydamas,
 10 Repub|       unjust. And that is what I mean when I say that in all States
 11 Repub|    Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by justice what the stronger
 12 Repub|       informer, Socrates. Do you mean, for example, that he who
 13 Repub|       nothing else? ~What do you mean? ~I mean what I may illustrate
 14 Repub|      else? ~What do you mean? ~I mean what I may illustrate negatively
 15 Repub|       for refusing. ~What do you mean, Socrates? said Glaucon.
 16 Repub|   penalty can be a payment. ~You mean that you do not understand
 17 Repub|       blind and cannot see? ~You mean to say, if they have lost
 18 Repub|       nature of justice; it is a mean or compromise, between the
 19 Repub|        Socrates-those of them, I mean, who are quick-witted, and,
 20 Repub|         regard one point only: I mean the essential good and evil
 21 Repub|       and watching? ~What do you mean? ~I mean that both of them
 22 Repub|  watching? ~What do you mean? ~I mean that both of them ought
 23 Repub|          before us. ~What do you mean? he said. ~I mean to say
 24 Repub|         do you mean? he said. ~I mean to say that there do exist
 25 Repub|         But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault
 26 Repub|        are the stories which you mean? ~First of all, I said,
 27 Repub|        which was a bad lie too-I mean what Hesiod says that Uranus
 28 Repub|        repeated. ~Neither, if we mean our future guardians to
 29 Repub|      forms of theology which you mean? ~Something of this kind,
 30 Repub|       gods and men? ~What do you mean? he said. ~I mean that no
 31 Repub|         do you mean? he said. ~I mean that no one is willingly
 32 Repub|        their youth upward, if we mean them to honor the gods and
 33 Repub|          not understand what you mean, said Adeimantus. ~Then
 34 Repub|          said, I understand; you mean, for example, as in tragedy. ~
 35 Repub|    imitation be prohibited? ~You mean, I suspect, to ask whether
 36 Repub|         behavior of madmen. ~You mean, I said, if I understand
 37 Repub|          to another city. For we mean to employ for our souls'
 38 Repub|          The harmonies which you mean are the mixed or tenor Lydian,
 39 Repub|    rhythm depend on simplicity-I mean the true simplicity of a
 40 Repub|         gymnastics. ~What do you mean? ~My meaning may be learned
 41 Repub|         richer sort. ~How do you mean? he said. ~I mean this:
 42 Repub|         do you mean? he said. ~I mean this: When a carpenter is
 43 Repub|      like the tragedians. I only mean that some men are changed
 44 Repub|      summer. ~I suppose that you mean houses, he replied. ~Yes,
 45 Repub|     included in the charge. ~You mean to ask, I said, what will
 46 Repub|       happiness to the State. We mean our guardians to be true
 47 Repub|        the State. But, if so, we mean different things, and he
 48 Repub|     greatest of States, I do not mean to say in reputation or
 49 Repub|        before is lighter still-I mean the duty of degrading the
 50 Repub|          neglected. ~What do you mean? ~I mean such things as
 51 Repub| neglected. ~What do you mean? ~I mean such things as these:-when
 52 Repub|         be admired. ~What do you mean? I said; you should have
 53 Repub|         discovery in this way: I mean to begin with the assumption
 54 Repub|        to the State. ~How do you mean? ~Why, I said, everyone
 55 Repub|     perfectly understand you. ~I mean that courage is a kind of
 56 Repub|         through education; and I mean by the words "under all
 57 Repub|           for I suppose that you mean to exclude mere uninstructed
 58 Repub|         missed her. ~What do you mean? ~I mean to say that in
 59 Repub|       her. ~What do you mean? ~I mean to say that in reality for
 60 Repub|           subject-the quality, I mean, of everyone doing his own
 61 Repub|           I do not know what you mean. ~Well, you know of course
 62 Repub|  particular kind of knowledge; I mean, for example, that the science
 63 Repub|         also qualified. I do not mean to say that relatives may
 64 Repub|         sort of instances do you mean? ~If the case is put to
 65 Repub|    perfectly clear? ~What do you mean? he said. ~Why, I said,
 66 Repub|        of vice, those of them, I mean, which are worth looking
 67 Repub|  deserving of note. ~What do you mean? he said. ~I mean, I replied,
 68 Repub|         do you mean? he said. ~I mean, I replied, that there appear
 69 Repub|     think that you are lazy, and mean to cheat us out of a whole
 70 Repub|       what sort of community you mean. We have been long expecting
 71 Repub|       friend, I suppose that you mean to encourage me by these
 72 Repub|         our design. ~What do you mean? ~What I mean may be put
 73 Repub|        What do you mean? ~What I mean may be put into the form
 74 Repub|          in any respect, did you mean to say that one man will
 75 Repub|       forgets; or again, did you mean, that the one has a body
 76 Repub|   delight in detailing what they mean to do when their wish has
 77 Repub|        what are you alluding? ~I mean, I replied, that our rulers
 78 Repub|       man's? ~Which years do you mean to include? ~A woman, I
 79 Repub|    people suffer in this way are mean enough and obvious enough,
 80 Repub|         and escape. ~What do you mean? he said. ~I mean that we
 81 Repub|         do you mean? he said. ~I mean that we must mount them
 82 Repub|           In what respect do you mean? ~First of all, in regard
 83 Repub|      their hearts, and would not mean to go on fighting forever. ~
 84 Repub|            Socrates, what do you mean? I would have you consider
 85 Repub|          explain to them whom we mean when we say that philosophers
 86 Repub|     should like to know what you mean? ~To another, I replied,
 87 Repub|      explained the class which I mean? ~Yes, I quite understand. ~
 88 Repub|          of the extremes and the mean to the faculty of the mean. ~
 89 Repub|       mean to the faculty of the mean. ~True. ~This being premised,
 90 Repub|          the State. ~What do you mean? ~Let us suppose that philosophical
 91 Repub|    hardly feel bodily pleasure-I mean, if he be a true philosopher
 92 Repub|            Then the cowardly and mean nature has no part in true
 93 Repub|           who is not covetous or mean, or a boaster, or a coward-can
 94 Repub|          more precisely what you mean about them. ~Grasp the truth
 95 Repub|        some lofty soul born in a mean city, the politics of which
 96 Repub|     difficulty of the subject, I mean dialectic, take themselves
 97 Repub|      yours, he said. ~But do you mean to say that this is not
 98 Repub|      eyes upward and downward: I mean that they will first look
 99 Repub|        and patches. ~What do you mean? he said. ~You are aware,
100 Repub|    testing them. But what do you mean by the highest of all knowledge? ~
101 Repub|         cannot explain what they mean by knowledge, but are obliged
102 Repub|          being seen? ~How do you mean? ~Sight being, as I conceive,
103 Repub|          visible to appear? ~You mean the sun, as you and all
104 Repub|    beauty; for you surely cannot mean to say that pleasure is
105 Repub|          images. And by images I mean, in the first place, shadows,
106 Repub|        they do now. ~What do you mean? ~I mean that they remain
107 Repub|       now. ~What do you mean? ~I mean that they remain in the
108 Repub|        useful arts were reckoned mean by us? ~Undoubtedly; and
109 Repub|      them. ~Explain, he said. ~I mean to say that objects of sense
110 Repub|         of uninviting objects, I mean those which do not pass
111 Repub|          shopkeeper! ~How do you mean? ~I mean, as I was saying,
112 Repub| shopkeeper! ~How do you mean? ~I mean, as I was saying, that arithmetic
113 Repub|   science also concerns us? ~You mean geometry? ~Exactly so. ~
114 Repub|         not upward. ~What do you mean? he asked. ~You, I replied,
115 Repub|        their understanding. ~You mean, I said, those gentlemen
116 Repub|          vast work. ~What do you mean? I said; the prelude, or
117 Repub|       not bastards. ~What do you mean? ~In the first place, her
118 Repub|       lame or halting industry-I mean, that he should not be half
119 Repub|    present world which they deem mean and worthless, esteeming
120 Repub|     their own habits and laws, I mean in the laws which we have
121 Repub|        the new State, being in a mean between oligarchy and the
122 Repub|        were a better pilot? ~You mean that they would shipwreck? ~
123 Repub|          to money-making, and by mean and miserly savings and
124 Repub|       democracy from oligarchy-I mean, after a sort? ~How? ~The
125 Repub|      infecting them. ~How do you mean? ~I mean that the father
126 Repub|       them. ~How do you mean? ~I mean that the father grows accustomed
127 Repub|         on the spot? ~How do you mean? ~He will rob the citizens
128 Repub|        his father's estate. ~You mean to say that the people,
129 Repub|         strong. ~Why, you do not mean to say that the tyrant will

131 Repub|        appetites do you mean? ~I mean those which are awake when
132 Repub|         conditions? ~What do you mean? he asked. ~Beginning with
133 Repub|        to go wrong. ~What do you mean? ~I do not think that he
134 Repub|    governing powers. ~How do you mean? he said. ~There is one
135 Repub|          either-that is what you mean? ~Yes. ~You remember what
136 Repub|         and not motion, and in a mean between them? ~Yes. ~How,
137 Repub|       and up again as far as the mean; and in this region they

140 Repub|         call. ~I understand; you mean that he will be a ruler
141 Repub|      distinguished. ~What do you mean? ~Speaking in confidence,
142 Repub|     incredulous, are you? Do you mean that there is no such maker
143 Repub|     determine this. ~What do you mean? ~I mean, that you may look
144 Repub|      this. ~What do you mean? ~I mean, that you may look at a
145 Repub|          addressed? ~What do you mean? ~I will explain: The body
146 Repub|          of the law? ~How do you mean? ~The law would say that

148 Repub|          surely be the gainers-I mean, if there is a use in poetry
149 Repub|      dissimilarity. ~What do you mean? he said. ~The soul, I said,
150 Repub|       and health; and there were mean states also. And here, my
