Quote by Μανόλης Αναγνωστάκης

“Ξέρω: κηρύγματα καὶ ρητορεῖες πάλι, θὰ πεῖς. Ἔ ναὶ λοιπόν! Κηρύγματα καὶ ρητορεῖες. Σὰν πρόκες πρέπει νὰ καρφώνονται οἱ λέξεις Νὰ μὴν τὶς παίρνει ὁ ἄνεμος.”

“We don’t look at the sky anymore, instead we stare at boxes that keeps us captive; we don’t walk barefoot any more, we refuse to kiss the earth with our feet, we keep busy worrying and fearing, we exist and die, like robots we work and consume. We ignore the beauty of a butterfly and the power of the eagle, we have forgotten the scent of flowers, we are too busy to enjoy nature, we are plastic most of the time; we live together but we do not connect, we are asleep. I want to cleanse myself of societies’ noise, walk barefoot, and kiss the earth with my feet, I want look at the sky, and like my ancestors, I want to feel free. I want to rejoice of who I am, and what I will become.”

“The Scholars "Bald heads forgetful of their sins, Old, learned, respectable bald heads Edit and annotate the lines That young men, tossing on their beds, Rhymed out in love’s despair To flatter beauty’s ignorant ear. They’ll cough in the ink to the world’s end; Wear out the carpet with their shoes Earning respect; have no strange friend; If they have sinned nobody knows. Lord, what would they say Should their Catullus walk that way?”
