Socrates (1970 TV Movie)

Manuel Ángel Egea: Cebete

Quotes 

• Cebete : I fear, Socrates, the the soul once it leaves the body will also cease to live.

  Socrate : Tell me, Cebes, who gives life to the body?

  Cebete : The soul.

  Socrate : And is that always the case?

  Cebete : Undoubtably.

  Socrate : And the soul that gives life to the body is it always a giver of life?

  Cebete : Yes.

  Socrate : And does life have an opposite or is the opposite of life nothing?

  Cebete : Life has an opposite, which is death.

  Socrate : The soul therefore cannot receive death, which is the opposite of this life, of which it is the source. And what do we call those beings that escape death?

  Cebete : We call them immortals.

  Socrate : The soul, as it cannot receive death is therefore immortal. So it is not unreasonable to believe that this soul is immortal and, if it is, we must take care of it our entire lives.
