"There are not in the world at any……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato:-never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them written in his hand."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
