•Socrates only smiled at him. Then he sat up on the couch and began to bend and massage his leg where the chains had bound him, “How singular is this thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, its opposite. They never come to a man at the same time, yet a man who pursues one is generally compelled to accept the other. They are two, yet they grow together out of one stem. I cannot but think if Aesop had noticed them, he would have made a fable about a god trying to reconcile their strife. When the god could not, he fastened them together. This is the reason when one comes the other follows, as I find in my own case pleasure comes following after the pain in my leg that was caused by the chain.”
