Kunnskap

Påtvungen kunnskap blir aldri sjelens varige eie.

Fra dialogen Staten (ca. 377 - 386 f.v.t.).

Engelsk:

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

Del av:

(Socrates:) And, therefore, calculation and geometry and all the other elements of instruction, which are a preparation for dialectic, should be presented to the mind in childhood; not, however, under any notion of forcing our system of education.

(Glaucon:) Why not?

Because a freeman ought not to be a slave in the acquisition of knowledge of any kind. Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.
