Dialogue

  1 Repub|            friends, and you will be quite at home with us. ~I replied:
  2 Repub|             his condition. ~You are quite right, he replied. ~But
  3 Repub|             definition of justice. ~Quite correct, Socrates, if Simonides
  4 Repub|          partner than the builder? ~Quite the reverse. ~Then in what
  5 Repub|          think that what you say is quite true, Socrates. ~Then if
  6 Repub|             wise man or seer? ~I am quite ready to do battle at your
  7 Repub|       seeking to devour us. We were quite panic-stricken at the sight
  8 Repub|            of others, I replied, is quite true; but that I am ungrateful
  9 Repub|          that justice is the injury quite as much as the interest
 10 Repub|       acknowledge. Am I not right? ~Quite right, he replied. ~But
 11 Repub|             to answer, you would be quite certain to accuse me of
 12 Repub|            making answers which are quite excellent. ~That is out
 13 Repub|            Glaucon has already said quite enough to lay me in the
 14 Repub|            dishonesty; and they are quite ready to call wicked men
 15 Repub|           hearing these words I was quite delighted, and said: Sons
 16 Repub|      purveyor to our bodily wants? ~Quite right. ~The barest notion
 17 Repub|         small now, and not enough? ~Quite true. ~Then a slice of our
 18 Repub|           attention as shoemaking? ~Quite true. ~And the shoemaker
 19 Repub|             struck me before; but I quite recognize the truth of your
 20 Repub|           music before gymnastics. ~Quite right, he said. ~You know
 21 Repub|             is more readily taken. ~Quite true. ~And shall we just
 22 Repub|           opinion those stories are quite unfit to be repeated. ~Neither,
 23 Repub|           of gods and men. ~You are quite right, he replied. ~And
 24 Repub|            again, he said, I do not quite understand. ~I fear that
 25 Repub|             intermediate passages? ~Quite true. ~But when the poet
 26 Repub|          that I may make my meaning quite clear, and that you may
 27 Repub|             imitations are copies. ~Quite true, he replied. ~If then
 28 Repub|           the same rhythm? ~That is quite true, he said. ~Whereas
 29 Repub|          plays one part only? ~Yes; quite unsuitable. ~And this is
 30 Repub|         these of any military use? ~Quite the reverse, he replied;
 31 Repub|          some manner which I do not quite understand, making the rhythms
 32 Repub|            the movement of the foot quite as much as the rhythm; or
 33 Repub|            their likeness. ~That is quite true, he said. ~But shall
 34 Repub|          familiar. ~Yes, he said, I quite agree with you in thinking
 35 Repub|            the use of his faculties quite as much as pain. ~Or any
 36 Repub|    order-temperate and harmonious? ~Quite true, he said. ~Then no
 37 Repub|        coarseness and bad taste. ~I quite agree, he said. ~Thus much
 38 Repub|          and knowing this, they are quite right in not taking them. ~
 39 Repub|        deprived of his occupation? ~Quite true, he said. ~But with
 40 Repub|          some extreme case. ~That I quite believe. ~The very exercises
 41 Repub|        replied. ~Yes, he said, I am quite aware that the mere athlete
 42 Repub|            hard and brutal. ~That I quite think. ~On the other hand
 43 Repub|     irritable and passionate and is quite impractical. ~Exactly. ~
 44 Repub|       propriety and grace. ~That is quite true, he said. ~And as there
 45 Repub|            of the strings. ~You are quite right, Socrates. ~And such
 46 Repub|    understand, he said, and you are quite right. ~And you would also
 47 Repub|         them. ~I think that you are quite right. ~I wonder whether
 48 Repub|           Damon tells me, and I can quite believe him; he says that
 49 Repub|          for in the former they are quite useless, and in the latter
 50 Repub|             the circumstances, I am quite content. I, too, I replied,
 51 Repub|             But the question is not quite so easy when we proceed
 52 Repub|             science of medicine. ~I quite understand, and, I think,
 53 Repub|          perceive, I said, that you quite understand me; there is,
 54 Repub|       desire, but now we should say quite the contrary; for in the
 55 Repub|             by harmony and rhythm? ~Quite true, he said. ~And these
 56 Repub|         forward himself so as to be quite close and saying something
 57 Repub|             of a man? ~That will be quite fair. ~And perhaps he, like
 58 Repub|           the most absurd? ~You are quite right, he replied, in maintaining
 59 Repub|            next to be established? ~Quite so. ~You will admit that
 60 Repub|          common; the possibility is quite another matter, and will
 61 Repub|             more of a man. ~That is quite true, he said; but to what
 62 Repub|           the law will allow them. ~Quite right, he replied. ~Such
 63 Repub|             way to the same thing? ~Quite true. ~Or that again which
 64 Repub|        incentive to valor. ~That is quite true, Socrates; and yet
 65 Repub|            how, if at all? For I am quite ready to acknowledge that
 66 Repub|          scrape, I said. ~And I was quite right; however, I will do
 67 Repub|           well as the professors of quite minor arts, are philosophers? ~
 68 Repub|         class which I mean? ~Yes, I quite understand. ~Then let me
 69 Repub|        proving, I said, that we are quite conscious of a distinction
 70 Repub|             and halves of another? ~Quite true. ~And things great
 71 Repub|      existence than being. ~That is quite true, he said. ~Thus then
 72 Repub|          the intermediate faculty. ~Quite true. ~Then those who see
 73 Repub|            of opinion that they are quite right. ~Then how can you
 74 Repub|             as we may truly say. ~I quite assent, he replied. ~Then
 75 Repub|             goods of life? ~We were quite right. ~Thus, my excellent
 76 Repub|          students of philosophy are quite young; beginning when they
 77 Repub|       visionaries. Am I not right? ~Quite right. ~If then, in the
 78 Repub|             majority of mankind. ~I quite agree with you, he said. ~
 79 Repub|             not only less angry but quite gentle, and that they have
 80 Repub|             any intellectual toil. ~Quite true. ~And yet we were saying
 81 Repub|               Yes, he said, you are quite right in testing them. But
 82 Repub|         ideas themselves. ~I do not quite understand your meaning,
 83 Repub|       opinion and reason. ~You have quite conceived my meaning, I
 84 Repub|             true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily
 85 Repub|             most eager, the worst. ~Quite true, he replied. ~And will
 86 Repub|             to be true philosophy? ~Quite so. ~And should we not inquire
 87 Repub|          suppose that they are seen quite close: And here comes the
 88 Repub|             hard and soft? ~You are quite right, he said. ~And must
 89 Repub|         upon useless studies; and I quite admit the difficulty of
 90 Repub| investigating their exact truth. ~I quite agree, though I never thought
 91 Repub|           filled with lawlessness. ~Quite true, he said. ~Do you think
 92 Repub|             another defect which is quite as bad. ~What defect? ~The
 93 Repub|        cultivation of virtue. ~Yes, quite as indifferent. ~Such is
 94 Repub|          much"? ~Yes, he said, I am quite aware that this is their
 95 Repub|             condemned in some cases quite charming? Have you not observed
 96 Repub|            on unnecessary pleasures quite as much as on necessary
 97 Repub|           we have now to consider. ~Quite true, he said. ~Say then,
 98 Repub|          metic, and the stranger is quite as good as either. ~Yes,
 99 Repub|          the manners of the young. ~Quite true, he said. ~The last
100 Repub|            protector. ~Yes, that is quite clear. How, then, does a
101 Repub|       ashamed to be a coward." ~And quite right too, said he, for
102 Repub|              Yes, he said; they are quite of his sort. ~Yes, I said,
103 Repub|         democracy to tyranny? ~Yes, quite enough, he said. ~
104 Repub|             and lawless visions. ~I quite agree. ~In saying this I
105 Repub|          except that of the wise is quite true and pure-all others
106 Repub|               Yes, he said, that is quite what the maintainer of justice
107 Repub|          will regard even health as quite a secondary matter; his
108 Repub|           followers are to this day quite celebrated for the order
109 Repub|         Socrates, that, I think, is quite true. ~Then must we not
110 Repub|             by colors and figures. ~Quite so. ~In like manner the
111 Repub|           reasonable. ~Nay, I said, quite reasonable from one point
112 Repub|            the comic poet at home. ~Quite true, he said. ~And the
113 Repub|           his law. ~Yes, he said, I quite agree with you. ~Yes, I
114 Repub|             sooner or later, but in quite another way from that in
115 Repub|         large hollow whorl which is quite scooped out, and into this
