Love is neither wise nor beautiful‚ but the desire or pursuit of wisdom and beauty. Love is expressed via propagation and reproduction‚ as in the exchange and development of ideas. Socrates in the Symposium best expresses this belief. Socrates ’ view of Love and Beauty was that one is the pursuit of the other‚ and that other is the greatest of all knowledge. Love is a driving force‚ a compulsion forward to a goal. Much as a moth is drawn to light‚ for its heat‚ people are lured to Beauty by Love

Platonic Love In the Symposium‚ which is normally dated at the beginning of the middle period‚ Plato introduces his theory of love. First thing to note is that in Plato’s theory‚ love is given and its existence is not questioned.

Love and Death was absolutely hilarious‚ being the funniest movie of all the films we saw. The satire on Russian literature took a subject that was originally serious and dark and turned it on its head.
