The epigraph in "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes is a quote by Plato that signifies the theme of intelligence and its impact on individuals. It introduces the idea of knowledge being an important aspect of a person's identity and raises questions about the consequences of gaining or losing intelligence.
