the athenian philosopher antisthenes, founder of the school of cynics which advocated a life of simplicity, was said to dress with ostentatious poverty. "i can see your vanity, antisthenes," socrates once observed, "through the holes in your cloak."
socrates philosophised even when he was on the threshold of death. "the hour of departure has arrived," he told plato, "and we go our ways ─ ─ i to die, and you to live. which is better, god only knows."
