Plato Geometry Quotes



Geometry will draw the soul toward truth and create the spirit of philosophy



"The knowledge at which geometry aims is knowledge of the eternal, and not of aught perishing and transient." - From "The Republic," another one of Plato's most famous dialogues, this quote underscores the idea that geometry deals with eternal and unchanging truths.



Then, my noble friend, geometry will draw the soul towards truth, and create the spirit of philosophy, and raise up that which is not unhappily allowed to fall down.
The Republic, VII, 52.
