“I do not know what impression my accusers made on you, Athenians. As for me, I almost forgot who I was while listening to them, their speeches were so convincing. On the other hand, I can say with certainty that not a single correct word came out of their mouths.” "Those who accused Socrates conveyed these false accusations in such beautiful terms that they even deceived themselves."
But I swear to Zeus, Athenians, what you will hear from me will not be words adorned with idioms and carefully chosen words, skillfully arranged. I will only tell you the truth, no one should expect anything else from me.
"The time has come to part. "I'm going to die, and you're going to live your lives."
