This book is an anthology of 225 quotes from Plato and 51 selected by Blago Kirov facts about Plato.

Plato was born in 428 BC and he died in 347 BC.

Plato is just a nickname and his actual name is Aristocles.

The nickname Plato (which means “broad” or “wide” in Greek) was given to him in reference to his broad shoulders.

As a young man, Plato was a wrestler and a playwright.

Plato's Father, Ariston, traced his descent from the king of Athens, Codrus, and the king of Messenia, Melanthus.

Plato's mother, Perictione, was in relationship with the famous Athenian lawmaker and lyric poet Solon.

In 388 B.C. Plato founded his school, the Academy, which is considered the first European university.

Plato was a student of Socrates.

Some 250 known manuscripts of Plato survive.

Thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters have been ascribed to Plato, though modern scholarship doubts the authenticity of some of these.

In the words of A.N. Whitehead: "The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”

“Ideas are the source of all things”

“If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things.”

“Ignorance is the root and stem of every evil.”

“I'm trying to think, don't confuse me with facts.”

“Knowledge is the food of the soul.”

“‎Love is a madness produced by an unclassifiable rational desire to understand the ultimate truth about the world.”

“Love is a serious mental disease.”

“Love is the pursuit of the whole.”

“Not exact, but: the two most important questions are; who will teach the children? What they teach them?”

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”

“The greatest wealth is to live content with little.”

“The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”

“There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.”

“Those who tell the stories rule society.”
