そなたは自分の父親とか主人とかを殴ったり、悪口を言ったり、その他あらゆる悪を加える権利を持っているとでも言うのかね。もしそなたにそういう人がいたとして、その人に殴られたり、悪口を言われたり、その他いろんな悪を加えられたとしても、そなたがやり返す権利を持っているとは言わないだろう。我々がそなたを殺すのが正当だと考えたから、仕返しにそなたが私たち法と祖国を、そなたにできる限りの方法でもって破壊しようとする行為が正しいとでもいうのか。真の美徳を愛するものであるそなたが、この行為は正しいのだとでも言うのか。そなたは哲学者でありながら、祖国が自分の母や父や、その他すべての祖先たちよりもはるかに価値があり、気高く、神聖だということを見失ってしまったのか。神々も、ものの分かった人たちも、祖国のことをとても尊重しているというのが分からないのか。だから人は、祖国に畏敬の念を持っていて、その怒りを買ったときは、父親が怒っているとき以上に穏やかに、そして恭しく、怒りをなだめるように頼み、考えを変えてくれるよう説得し、どうしてもだめなときは従うのではないのか。もし我々が監禁とか鞭打ちとかでもって誰かを罰しようとしたならば、黙ってその刑に服さなければならないのだ。もしそれによってその人が、傷を負ったり戦場で死ぬようなことになるとしても、刑に服さなければならないのだ。この場合、正義は我々の側にあるのだ。そしてそこから退いても、引いてもいけないのであって、持ち場を放棄することは許されないのだ。むしろ戦場でも法廷でも、他のどんな場所ででも、都市や国家が命じたことには従わなければいけないのだ。でなければ、正当さというものに関する国家の見方を変えなきゃならんのだ。もし誰かが、その父母に暴力をふるわないように心がけているのであれば、国家に対して暴力をふるわないようにするのは当たり前だろう。」 - Plato『クリトン』
