προνόμια


Παγωμένο χιόνι σε πευκοβελόνες - παροδική ομορφιά στην Πίνδο, Απρίλιος 2017

Τα προνόμια, όσο δεν τα 'χουμε, κλαιγόμαστε, 
κι όσο τα 'χουμε, τα αγνοούμε.

Οδυσσέας Ελύτης [Εν λευκώ, 1992]

meaning of life





- When man is happy, the meaning of life and other eternal themes rarely interest him. These questions should be asked at the end of one's life.
- But we don't know when life will end. That's why we're in such a hurry.
- Don't rush. The happiest people are those who are not interested in these cursed questions.
