Plato
“Have you ever sensed that our soul is immortal and never dies?”
Plato, The Republic

Aristotle
“a poet must be a composer of plots rather than of verses,”
Aristotle, Poetics: with the Tractatus Coislinianus, reconstruction of Poetics II, and the fragments of the On Poets

Aristotle
“the greatest thing by far is to have a command of metaphor. This alone cannot be imparted by another; it is the mark of genius, for to make good metaphors implies an eye for resemblances.”
Aristotle, Poetics

Plato
“χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά

Nothing beautiful without struggle.”
Plato, The Republic

Aristotle
“The plot, then, is the first principle, and, as it were, the soul of a tragedy; Character holds the second place.”
Aristotle, Poetics
