“Nothing that a person sacrifices, nothing that he offers up to God or the poor, no good deed, no virtue, no patience, no tribulation, no tear, nothing is wasted. They all fall on fertile ground, like the grain of wheat, as the Lord said, which if it fall into the ground and die it brings forth much fruit.”
“For my part, as long as I live and breathe and am of sound mind, I will never cease, especially during these resplendent days, to praise and adore Christ, to depict nature lovingly, and to represent with affection those customs which are authentically Greek.”
-Alexandros Papadiamantis
