“Education is not in reality what some people proclaim it to be in their professions. What they aver is that they can put true knowledge into a soul that does not possess it, as if they were inserting vision into blind eyes…. But the true analogy … is that of an eye that could not be converted to the light from the darkness without turning the whole body. —PLATO, REPUBLIC, TRANS. PAUL SHOREY”
