I am trying to find a quote from Plato’s The Republic in its original ancient Greek.
There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild, and lawless.
Any help would be awesome.
Thank you.

Republic 9:572b: …ἄρα δεινόν τι καὶ ἄγριον καὶ ἄνομον ἐπιθυμιῶν εἶδος ἑκάστῳ ἔνεστι, καὶ πάνυ δοκοῦσιν ἡμῶν ἐνίοις μετρίοις εἶναι.
