but we shall say ,we have bred you both for your own sake and that of the whole community to act as leaders and king bees in a hive ; you are better and more fully educated than the rest and better qualified to combine the practice of philosophy and politics.you must therefore each descend and in turn and live with your fellows in the cave and get used to seeing in the dark. Once you get used to it you will see a thousand times better than they do and will distinguish the various shadows and know what they are shadows of , because you have seen the truth about things admirable and just and good. And so our state and yours will be really awake , and not merely dreaming like most societies today , with their shadow battles and their struggles for political power which they treat as some great prize.The truth is quite different:the state whose prospective rulers come to their duties with least enthusiasm is bound to have the best and most tranquil government , and the state whose rulers are eager to rule the worst.

——The Allegory of the Cave,Plato.

“你必须重新下行，与你的同胞一道在洞窟中生活，重新适应在黑暗中视物。你一朝适应便能以千百倍的明晰洞察，分清百样的影子是何物的投影，因为你曾眼见美好、正义、使人倾慕的事物…”

这着实是亲父…他曾眼见过深远的光明，因而才能在黑暗中找见路标，他曾因光明而目眩，曾有一切希望摆在他眼前，曾目视太阳而最后被拖回洞窟的黑暗。为此他能分清黑暗中的各种影子、声色，带领其他人，把自己已经失去的赠予其他人，为他们描述光明。
他未想当国王，对国家无求，为此他才是最好的国王。这话本是说哲学家，而他又自封哲人王。
