Athens is the birthplace of modern tragedy. In the Greek tragic plays, the tableau of the characters would become a statue, like the statue of Oedipus reaching up to the Gods with blood spilling out of his eyes. I love the way the Greeks would immortalize experience. Things that all of us feel.

We see in others what we want and what we fear.

Even if you have loved only once in your life, you're ruined.

For lonely people, rain is a chance to be touched.

The most significant conversations of our lives occur in silence.

To love again, you must not discard what has happened to you, but take from it the strength you'll need to carry on.

I tried to convey to the boy how people's lives are often altered by curved lines read slowly from paper, sand, or stone.
