Plato quote appeared on this web site

I hope you guys can track down for me a quote from Plato stated on this forum a few months ago. It disappeared soon after and I wanted to jot it down. Is there an archive?

If you’re talking about this forum, just type “Plato” into the “subject” search engine and click on the word subject. If you’re talking about the magazine, the archives are in the “Previous Issues” section.

You might want to search under “Favorite Quotes” in the subject line. I think Plato would have appeared in the body of a reply. I’ve never had good luck on a text search.

I found it guys - thank you.
