No, there are not many passages like that in the book. That's one of the only ones, there are like 2 others and they are not as powerful or in-depth.
However, the book as a whole is quite interesting. It's a philosophical classic for a reason.
On a sidenote- you can skip about 100 pages in the middle without losing much of the story (where he goes into detail about monitoring the education of kids, the feeding of the soldiers, and irrelevant crap like that).
