“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

“The greatest illusion," said the mole, "is that life should be perfect.”
― Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

“Time present and time past / are both perhaps present in time future.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

“Σε κοίταζα μ'όλο το φως και το σκοτάδι που έχω"
