For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that Ithe conscious person talking to youwill meet you in the world beyondyou being yourself a conscious personthe same person now reading what I say.”

“If I tell you that I would be disobeying the god and on that account it is impossible for me to keep quiet, you wont be persuaded by me, taking it that I am ironizing. And if I tell you that it is the greatest good for a human being to have discussions every day about virtue and the other things you hear me talking about, examining myself and others, and that the unexamined life is not livable for a human being, you will be even less persuaded.”
—Socrates (469399 B.C.)
