It is correct to make a priority of young people, taking care that they turn out as well as possible.
PlatoThe gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies... they are the trees and the plants and the seeds.
PlatoThe love, more especially, which is concerned with the good, and which is perfected in company with temperance and justice, whether among gods or men, has the greatest power, and is the source of all our happiness and harmony, and makes us friends with the gods who are above us, and with one another.
PlatoWhen a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment.
