“Does it ever give thee pause that men used to have a soul? Not by hearsay alone, or as a figure of speech, but as a thruth that they knew and acted upon. Verily it was another world then, but yet it is a pity we have lost the tidings of our souls. We shall have to go in search of them again or worse in all ways shall befall us.”
― Thomas Carlyle

“Come then, and let us pass a leisure hour in story-telling, and our story shall be
the education of our heroes.
By all means.
And what shall be their education? Can we find a better than the traditional
sort?–and this has two divisions, gymnastic for the body, and music for the
soul.
True.
Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards?
By all means.
And when you speak of music, do you include literature or not?
I do.”
― Plato, The Republic
