"Socrates: Even someone who was blindfolded would know from your conversation that you are handsome and still have lovers. (...) Because you are forever giving orders in a discussion, as spoiled people do, who behave like tyrants as long as they are young."

 

Plato, Meno, 76bc, translated by G.M.A. Grube, Complete Works, Hackett, 1997, p. 876.

The artist must tell the truth about something which he has understood. This is perhaps the best piece of advice one can give to the writer. Iris Murdoch (Art is the Imitation of Nature)
