“My heart expands calm and serene, with no shadows, diaphanous and clear.”
— Maria Polydouri, tr. by Manolis Aligizakis, from “How Can I Say It To You,”
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
