Quotes

  • “The Swedish Academy's decision (to award me the Nobel Prize in Literature) was not only an honor for me but for Greece and its history through the ages. I believe that it was a decision to bring international attention to the most ancient tradition in Europe, since from Homer's time to the present there has not been a single century during which poetry has not been written in the Greek language.”
