Giannis Ritsos quotes
-
“I dissolved, so white, so unapproachable, amid my white flame, in the whiteness of moonlight”
-- Giannis Ritsos -
“I know that each one of us travels to love alone, alone to faith and to death. I know it. I've tried it. It doesn't help. Let me come with you.”
-- Giannis Ritsos -
“Find time for thought, this is the source of strength. Find time for the game, this is the secret of eternal youth. Find time for reading, this is the Foundation of knowledge. Find time to be friendly, this is the road to happiness. Find time for dreams, they will pull your vehicle as the stars. Find time to love and be loved in return, this is the privilege of the gods. Find time to look around you, it's too short a day to be selfish. Find time to laugh this is the music of the soul.”
-- Giannis Ritsos -
“All the words are not enough to get anything said.”
