"Δεν είναι που είσαι κακός, είναι που χάνεις το φως σου"

Pavel Tchelitchew (Russian, 1898-1957), The French Theatre, 1931

 "At times one wanders, doubting the facts, even when one has discovered the secrets of the good life. To be sure, my solution is not the ideal . But when you don’t like your own life, when you know that you must change lives, you don’t have any choice, do you? What can one do to become another? Impossible. One would have to cease being anyone, forget one-self for someone else, at least once. But how? Don’t bear down too hard on me. I’m like that old beggar who wouldn’t let go of my hand one day on a café terrace: “Oh, sir,” he said, “it’s not just that I’m no good, but you lose track of the light.” Yes, we have lost track of the light, the mornings, the holy innocence of those who forgive themselves."
