    Μάρω Βαμβουνάκη
    “Ακόμα και τις εποχές που του έδειχνε παραδομένη ολοκληρωτικά, εκείνος την αγαπούσε το ίδιο. Γιατί αγάπη είναι να θέλεις τον άλλο ακόμα κι όταν απόλυτα τον έχεις κατακτήσει. Όσο διαρκεί μια πολιορκία, μια διεκδίκηση, κανείς δεν μπορεί να ορκιστεί με βεβαιότητα ότι αγαπάει. Σπάνια το γνωρίζει.”
    ― Μάρω Βαμβουνάκη, Η κραταιά αγάπη

    Erich Fromm
    “Man’s happiness today consists in “having fun.” Having fun lies in the satisfaction of consuming and “taking in” commodities, sights, food, drinks, cigarettes, people, lectures, books, movies—all are consumed, swallowed. The world is one great object for our appetite, a big apple, a big bottle, a big breast; we are the sucklers, the eternally expectant ones, the hopeful ones—and the eternally disappointed ones.”

    Andy Rooney
    “Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!”
