"Where the people are well educated, the art of piloting a state is best learned from the writings of Plato."

Whoever has not arrived at the clear insight that there might be greatness entirely outside his own sphere for which he has no understanding, whoever does not have at least a dim inkling in which area of the human spirit this greatness might be situated: he is within his own sphere either without genius, or he has not educated himself up to the point of the classical attitude.

— Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
