628 Text |             he is a corrupter of the young, who would persuade them
629 Text |              persuading any, whether young or old, to act contrary

690 Text |              to be a part of virtue?~YOUNG SOCRATES: True.~STRANGER:
691 Text |           strange theory about them.~YOUNG SOCRATES: What is it?~STRANGER:
692 Text |              a great part of nature.~YOUNG SOCRATES: How singular!~
693 Text |             friendly to one another.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Yes.~STRANGER:
694 Text |             kindred in some respect.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Tell me how we

706 Text |            quarrel arise among them.~YOUNG SOCRATES: True.~STRANGER:
707 Text |          disorders the most hateful.~YOUNG SOCRATES: To what do you
708 Text |        unwarlike, and bring up their young men to be like themselves;
709 Text |         freemen into that of slaves.~YOUNG SOCRATES: What a cruel fate!~
710 Text |              subject it to its foes?~YOUNG SOCRATES: That, again, is
711 Text |      antagonism towards one another?~YOUNG SOCRATES: We cannot deny
712 Text |           who are endowed with them?~YOUNG SOCRATES: True.~STRANGER:
713 Text |            consider a further point.~YOUNG SOCRATES: What is it?~STRANGER:
714 Text |             out some nature or idea?~YOUNG SOCRATES: To, be sure.~STRANGER:
715 Text |        necessary for making the web.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Quite true.~STRANGER:
716 Text |           the greatest of disgraces.~YOUNG SOCRATES: That is commonly
717 Text |           under the yoke of slavery.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Quite right.~STRANGER:
718 Text |             in the following manner:~YOUNG SOCRATES: In what manner?~
719 Text |         binds that with human cords.~YOUNG SOCRATES: I do not understand
720 Text |            nature of heavenly birth.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Yes; what else
721 Text |            were just now describing.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Likely enough.~
722 Text |              of the present enquiry.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Very right.~STRANGER:
723 Text |         brutality. Is not that true?~YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly.~STRANGER:
724 Text |       ignominious name of silliness.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Quite true.~STRANGER:
725 Text |              to join such materials?~YOUNG SOCRATES: Impossible.~STRANGER:
726 Text |            was saying, the divinest?~YOUNG SOCRATES: Very true.~STRANGER:
727 Text |         bonds, which are human only.~YOUNG SOCRATES: How is that, and
728 Text |             procreation of children.~YOUNG SOCRATES: In what way?~STRANGER:
729 Text |           even of a serious censure.~YOUNG SOCRATES: There is no need
730 Text |             to indicate their error.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Quite true.~STRANGER:
731 Text |              by feelings of dislike.~YOUNG SOCRATES: How so?~STRANGER:
732 Text |              precisely the opposite.~YOUNG SOCRATES: How and why is
733 Text |              into downright madness.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Like enough.~STRANGER:
734 Text |       utterly paralyzed and useless.~YOUNG SOCRATES: That, again, is
735 Text |           them the offices of State.~YOUNG SOCRATES: How do you mean?~
736 Text |              in thoroughness and go.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly, that
737 Text |              public or private life.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly they
738 Text |              secure their happiness.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Your picture,
