I think the OP was trying to refer to PLATEAU.

We know, we know.

But we talk about plateaus all the time so it was refreshing to talk about Plato and other philosophers instead

Well I'll add mine then:

Man is a wingless animal with two feet and flat nails.

For those readers (or the OP) who might be scared off from posting on threads because people are being joke-y here: Please don't be offended, no harm is meant. If the OP had asked a question, multiple people would've given good, clear answers long before now. Maybe still might have made jokes - humans, y'know? - but there would be sensible answers, not just jokes.

I'm more of an Epictetus gal myself, and my fave may be apposite: "People are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of them."

I'd like to thank the OP. This is one of my favorite threads to read!

And after I thought of it, I said, "I will, then, be a toad.

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am."

But he had the best law firm on retainer, Saltieri, Poore, Nash, DeBrutus, and Short. (Cite to Thomas Pynchon, of course.)
