"...You, dear reader, regardless of when this book falls into your hands, should know that history is not written by those who succumb and compromise, but by those who cherish the beauty of the journey against the storms."

I hope that in the future democracy will function, the people will mature, and the next generations will not experience the injustice and oppression that I have known. Even those who believe they have defeated me, that they have exterminated me, I first tell them not to be hasty, and secondly, I remind them that, with the war they waged against me, an indelible mortgage was written for the younger generations, for new, hard-fought, and victorious battles in the future.

"Nothing in life, nothing in politics goes to waste." Vassilis Leventis.
