PLATO'S CAVE - 

LIGHT AND SHADOWS

Quote for Today - June 11, 2013

"Behold! 
Human beings living
in an underground den ...
Like ourselves ...
they see only their shadows,
or the shadows of one another,
which the fire throws on
the opposite wall of the cave."

Plato [c, 428-348 B.C,] The Republic, VII, 515 - B, Paul Shorey (Loeb Clasical Library)
