T.S. Eliot

15. “I was attached to this city by the god – though it seems a ridiculous thing to say – as upon a great and noble horse which was somewhat sluggish because of its size and needed to be stirred up by a kind of gadfly.

I never cease to rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you all day long and everywhere I find myself in your company.” Plato City Duty, Divine Purpose, Civic Engagement, Social Responsibility, Philosophical Mission
