"And therefore, I said, Glaucon, musical training is a more potent
instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into
the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting
grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of
him who is ill-educated ungraceful; and also because he who has received
this true education of the inner being will most shrewdly perceive omissions
or faults in art and nature, and with a true taste, while he praises and
rejoices over and receives into his soul the good, and becomes noble and
good, he will justly blame and hate the bad, now in the days of his youth,
even before he is able to know the reason why; and when reason comes he will
recognise and salute the friend with whom his education has made him long
familiar. "
