"the life which is unexamined is not worth living" - SocratesThe above quote, from class on Tuesday, is in Plato's 'Apology.' I found a translation online: "http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/apology.html" if you are interested.
Synopsis: Socrates has been sentenced to death near the end of the apology. He states the aforementioned phrase as an explanation for his activities(he has been accused of corrupting the youth) and his willingness to die rather than denounce them.
Just use the 'find' feature on your internet browser, when you're at the website, and type in the phrase to locate it.
