Comments & Greek artists, Greek painters: little that is "good" about human beings...

Aphorisms & Greek artists, contemporary Greek painters


Yannis Stavrou, Still Life, oil on canvas

Still life is better...

On Humans...

I have found little that is "good" about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think.


It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built upon a renunciation of instinct.


Sigmund Freud
