The unexamined life is not worth living. I said this at my trial, knowing it might cost me everything — and it did. But I said it because it is true. A life spent accumulating money, honour, and reputation, without ever asking whether those things are worth having, whether the soul is in good order, whether one is becoming a better or a worse person — that is not a human life. It is the life of a well-fed animal. I prefer the hemlock.
