About WHAT is to be FOUND
"The excellent artist does not own any concepts
that one marble stone in itself does not hold
within its superfluous, as to that only arrives
the hand which obeys the mind"
Michelangelo Buonarroti
"-Socrates: What do you think, Menone? In answering me, did he
by chance tell me any thoughts which were not of his own?
-Menone: No, they were all his own.
-Socrates: Nevertheless, he did not know, as we were saying
before.
-Menone: That is right.
-S.: But were they, or were they not, these thoughts in him?
-M.: Yes.
-S.: In the one who does not know, then, there are truthful
opinions about the things that one does not know, which refer to
them?
-M.: It seems so.
-S.: And, as if in a dream, they just rose up in him. And if
someone questions him many a time, in several different ways,
over these very things, be sure that in
the end he will not know any less than any other.
-M.: So it seems.
-S.: Because he will know without anybody teaching him, but only questioning
him, as he retrieves the knowledge from inside
his own self.
-M.:Yes. "
