Alan Jacobs Quotes
Socrates: Yes Mercy And Grace Are All Linked With Love. Let Your Tears Of Gratitude Wash Away The Dark Dirt Of Ignorance Obscuring Your Own Dear Self Which Is Love.
Charmides: So Love Has Nothing To Do With Lust Then?
Socrates: No! Lust Is From The Selfish False Sense Of A 'me' Desperate For Some Pleasurable, Momentary Relief From Its Anguish And Boredom. Love Is Refined, And Her Amorous Advances Are From The Spirit, Not The Body.
