Lifes Hard Then You Die @betheconstant - Tumblr Blog

“And so, my friend, the deeper my secret hope becomes, the more secure I feel in my silence and the less I feel the need to complain, to express my indignation. The knowledge I gain is like that left us by dreams. Our tongues are bound by the inexplicable things we dreamed, and though we can't talk about them, we recognize that they have made us wiser, more knowing.”

- Vassilis Vassilikos

“Oh my world, I may not be able to see you any longer, I may know that I won’t see you again, but believe me, I can’t acknowledge that we’re separated, because I carry all of you within me, and my body is your prison…”

Vassilis Vassilikos

“But isn’t my wanting to be simple merely the beginning of new complications? And what conclusion emerges from all this? Simply an impasse - and a voice saying, ‘Thanos, stop thinking; thinking eats at a man like a maggot.’ Yet this voice, yes, the voice itself is a thought.”

Vasilios Vassilikos
