How overbearing you are, Socrates! Take my advice, and let this argument drop, or find some one else to argue with.Socrates
Then who else is willing? Surely we must not leave the argument there, unfinished?Callicles
Could you not get through it yourself, either talking on by yourself or answering your own questions?
