"Without exception, anybody can and must become a philosopher.”

TRADUÇÃO:"Nós podemos facilmente perdoar uma criança que tem medo do escuro; A tragédia real da vida é quando homem tem medo da luz!" (Platão)

“For people to become convinced that the Idea, in the sense we understand it, should guide the destiny of the country, we’ve got to take responsibility for and monitor the outcomes of the general education curriculum, as we defined its broad principles – and even a few of its details – last night and this morning. So it’ll be assumed that all the virtues toward which such an education orients the masses and of which the philosophical determination is merely the synthesis have been acquired. After all, our curriculum is very simple: anybody, without exception, can and must become a philosopher.”
