Quote by Μανόλης Αναγνωστάκης

“Μες στην κλειστή μοναξιά μου Έσφιξα τη ζεστή παιδική σου άγνοια Στην αγνή παρουσία σου καθρέφτισα τη χαμένη ψυχή μου. Εμείς αγαπήσαμε. Εμείς Προσευχόμαστε πάντοτε. Εμείς Μοιραστήκαμε το ψωμί και τον κόπο μας Κι εγώ μέσα σε σένα και σ’ όλους. - Μανόλης Αναγνωστάκης, “Πέντε μικρά θέματα I”

“We know from myths and fairy tales that there are many different kinds of powers in this world. One child is given a light saber, another a wizard’s education. The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of available power, but to use well the kind you’ve been granted. Introverts are offered keys to private gardens full of riches. To possess such a key is to tumble like Alice down her rabbit hole. She didn’t choose to go to Wonderland—but she made of it an adventure that was fresh and fantastic and very much her own. Lewis Carroll was an introvert, too, by the way. Without him, there would be no Alice in Wonderland. And by now, this shouldn’t surprise us.”

“But there’s a less obvious yet surprisingly powerful explanation for introverts’ creative advantage—an explanation that everyone can learn from: introverts prefer to work independently, and solitude can be a catalyst to innovation. As the influential psychologist Hans Eysenck once observed, introversion “concentrates the mind on the tasks in hand, and prevents the dissipation of energy on social and sexual matters unrelated to work.” In other words, if you’re in the backyard sitting under a tree while everyone else is clinking glasses on the patio, you’re more likely to have an apple fall on your head. (Newton was one of the world’s great introverts. William Wordsworth described him as “A mind forever / Voyaging through strange seas of Thought alone.”)”

“Υπάρχει μια μοναξιά που μπορείς να τη λικνίσεις. Μπράτσα σταυρωμένα, γόνατα μαζεμένα ψηλά.. ξανά και ξανά η ίδια κίνηση, ανόμοια μ’ εκείνη του πλοίου, μαλακώνει και συγκρατεί αυτόν που λικνίζεται. Είναι εσωτερική – σε τυλίγει σφιχτά σαν επιδερμίδα. Υπάρχει και μια μοναξιά που περιπλανιέται. Κανένα λίκνισμα δεν την καθηλώνει. Είναι ζωντανή και αυτόνομη. Είναι στεγνή και διάχυτη και κάνει τον ήχο των ποδιών σου που φεύγουν να μοιάζει σαν να έρχεται από τόπο πολύ μακρινό.”
