"I suppose you're right," Socrates said. "Of course I'm right," the priestess Diotima said. (Symp. 206e)
“In England, at all events, every man who wishes to stand well with the world will accent his Greek properly. Concerning that man who misplaces them, damaging inferences will certainly be drawn, and in most instances with justice.” —-H.W. Chandler, 1862

'For the fullness of the Godhead can only be expressed in the creatureliness of all beings.' (p. 77)
