Every man worthy to be called son of man carries his cross and takes him to Golgotha; many people, the most of them, go up the first step, the second, puff and blow, collapse in the middle of their course, and they do not reach the top of Golgotha – I want to say the top of their duty – to be crucified, rise, and save their soul. They flinch, are afraid to be crucified, and ignore that crucifixion is the only way towards resurrection; there is no other.

"“‘What then,’ I asked, ‘can Love be? A mortal?’
“‘Anything but that.’
“‘Well what?’
“‘As I previously suggested, between a mortal and an immortal.’
“‘And what is that, Diotima?’
“‘A great spirit, Socrates: for the whole of the spiritual is between divine and mortal.’
“‘Interpreting and transporting human things to the gods and divine things to men; entreaties and sacrifices from below, and ordinances and requitals from above: being midway between, it makes each to supplement the other, so that the whole is combined in one.’"
- Plato, Symposium
"Suffering from solitude is also an "objection" - I suffered only from the "crowds""
"As far as its means are concerned, love is war; at bottom it is the eternal hate between the two sexes"

I, Deucalionite, hereby give you this barnstar in honor of your great service to Hellenism and to Wikipedia as a whole. Your works as an editor and as an administrator have inspired barbarians such as myself to make positive contributions. Your vision of organizing Greeks and Philhellenes under one banner is more than a mere reality, it is a positive force to be reckoned with. Your powerful contributions are the envy of administrators and users alike. Your compassion and leadership qualities are what make you Yannismarou. You can choose to leave, but your legacy will never die. If ever you return, then you will be embraced by your kinsmen without question. Our Leonidas, our Alexander, our Belisarius, our Kolokotronis.

One of the main advantages of having friends on this beautiful island is that I can immortalize instants of unprecedented beauty like this one on October 21, 2006
Summer of 2006 in the assembly hall of the European Council. Can you see me?!
One of the many times I have visited the cafeteria on the Castle of Trikala (well, whenever I can choose, I prefer Myconos but ... )
Or at least Tzia, where there is a great taverna near Vourkari (summer of 2006).
If I had the money, I would have chosen this hotel in Amsterdam to stay!
This is the only picture here whicn is not taken by me. But Santorini is my favorite island, and, until I am able to upload a picture of mine, I had no other way to express my admiration for this miracle of nature.

Have you swam here? Mmmm ... If no, you should!
Panoramic view of Assos. Isn't the landscape magnificent?
Depiction of Last Supper in the Cathedral of Freiburg. I regard this as one of my best photos!
A journey to Skopelos ... This summer (2007)...
