 2 Repub|    question which I should like to ask of you, who have arrived
 3 Repub|         peace with himself. ~May I ask, Cephalus, whether your
 4 Repub|            is very true, but may I ask another question?-What do
 5 Repub|            is, you should not only ask but answer, and you should
 6 Repub|        there is many a one who can ask and cannot answer. And now
 7 Repub|          and well know that if you ask a person what numbers make
 8 Repub|           to prohibit him whom you ask from answering twice six,
 9 Repub|          And do you suppose that I ask these questions with any
10 Repub|       between us in future, let me ask, in what sense do you speak
11 Repub|         the informer if you can; I ask no quarter at your hands.
12 Repub|            be better that I should ask you a question: Is the physician,
13 Repub|          body. Suppose you were to ask me whether the body is selfsufficing
14 Repub|           got a nurse? ~Why do you ask such a question, I said,
15 Repub|       forbid! I said; I would only ask you to be consistent; or,
16 Repub|   themselves but of others? Let me ask you a question: Are not
17 Repub|             or if you would rather ask, do so, and I will answer "
18 Repub|         you are so disposed I will ask and you shall answer. ~Proceed. ~
19 Repub|         also an excellence? Need I ask again whether the eye has
20 Repub|          point yet. I would rather ask the question more generally,
21 Repub|         have not succeeded. Let me ask you now: How would you arrange
22 Repub|         class also. But why do you ask? ~Because I want to know
23 Repub| description a little too coarse, I ask you to suppose, Socrates,
24 Repub|        Once more, Socrates, I will ask you to consider another
25 Repub|         opposite side; and I would ask you to show not only the
26 Repub|          conventional good-I would ask you in your praise of justice
27 Repub|          second principle? Shall I ask you whether God is a magician,
28 Repub|            what you meant. ~I will ask you to remember also what
29 Repub|            You mean, I suspect, to ask whether tragedy and comedy
30 Repub|           Then, Adeimantus, let me ask you whether our guardians
31 Repub|       event. These two harmonies I ask you to leave; the strain
32 Repub|            and I agree. But let me ask you another question: Has
33 Repub|           this, I said; but rather ask ourselves: Is the practise
34 Repub|         next question? Must we not ask who are to be rulers and
35 Repub|           the charge. ~You mean to ask, I said, what will be our
36 Repub|           you say. ~I proceeded to ask: When two things, a greater
37 Repub|            easy when we proceed to ask whether these principles
38 Repub|           of what I then said, you ask me to begin again at the
39 Repub|            illustration we were to ask the question whether there
40 Repub|           he said. ~Next, we shall ask our opponent how, in reference
41 Repub|         him: Come now, and we will ask you a question: When you
42 Repub|             Yes. ~I should like to ask you a question. ~What is
43 Repub|        Capital, I said; but let me ask you once more: Shall they
44 Repub|         that? ~I was only going to ask whether, if we have discovered
45 Repub|     possibility is highest, I must ask you, having this in view,
46 Repub|         Exactly. ~Once more let me ask: Does he who desires any
47 Repub|          to follow-of such a one I ask, Is he awake or in a dream
48 Repub|          it? But we should like to ask him a question: Does he
49 Repub|            being premised, I would ask the gentleman who is of
50 Repub|           not philosophers, I must ask you which of the two classes
51 Repub|       them-are not such persons, I ask, simply blind? ~Truly, he
52 Repub|            of no use to them? ~You ask a question, I said, to which
53 Repub|          By all means. ~And let us ask and answer in turn, first
54 Repub|           been saying? Then let me ask you to consider further
55 Repub|         know that you are going to ask, What that State is: ~No,
56 Repub|          wrong, for I was going to ask another question-whether
57 Repub|           knowledge? ~Nay, I said, ask if you will; but I am certain
58 Repub|        sirs, let us not at present ask what is the actual nature
59 Repub|       forbid, I replied; but may I ask you to consider the image
60 Repub|            to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man
61 Repub|            man is not compelled to ask of thought the question,
62 Repub|          same position; and let me ask the same questions, and
63 Repub|          whom we have once more to ask, how is he formed out of
64 Repub|              By all means. ~Let me ask you not to forget the parallel
65 Repub|          three classes of men, and ask of them in turn which of
66 Repub|            he agree so far, we may ask him to answer another question: "
67 Repub|         only apparent. ~Now let me ask you another question: Which
68 Repub|         refer: we are not going to ask him, or any other poet,
