Favorabilă: (Plutarh) ”This element, therefore, when our life was savage and
unsociable, linked it together and made it complete, redressing defects by
mutual assistance and exchange and so bringing about cooperation and
friendship… the sea brought the Greeks the vine from India, from Greece
transmitted the use of grain across the sea, from Phoenicia imported letters as a
memorial against forgetfulness, thus preventing the greater part of mankind
from being wineless, graineless, and unlettered.”
▪ Defavorabilă: (Horațiu) ”In vain has God in his wisdom
planned to divide the land by the seas separations, if, for all
that, ungodly ships are crossing the waters that he placed out
of bounds.”
▪ Platon (cca. 427 - 347 î.Hr.): “The result [of such a division],
then, is that more things are produced, and better and more
easily when one man performs one task according to his
nature, at the right moment, and at leisure from other
occupations”; ”it is practically impossible to establish the city
in a region where it will not need imports”.
