Socrates, the famous Greek philosopher, has been quoted as saying: “The soul,... if it departs pure, dragging with it nothing of the body,... goes away into that which is like itself, into the invisible, divine, immortal, and wise, and when it arrives there it is happy, freed from error and folly and fear... and all the other human ills, and... lives in truth through all after time with the gods. ” ​ — Phaedo, 80, D, E; 81, A.
היא חיה לנצח ־ נצחים באמת לאמיתה, במחיצת האלים. ” — פֵידוֹ, 80, ד ’, ה ’; 81, א ’ .‏
