Maria Karvouni
“Pinocchio, a puppet that was control by a human, is not a random story just to say something to entertain the crowds. Pinocchio contains hidden meanings and messages. There are ways they can connect to your body and make it move.”
Maria Karvouni, Reality Is Just A Possible Fantasy

Maria Karvouni
“People try to prevail their own truth. And they use evil means. They
torture, they threaten. What they impose as truth keeps them in power, but it is fascistic. When the truth is a strategy or a pattern is not genuine truth.”
Maria Karvouni, The Impossible Proof Of Knowing Nothing
