Defeat Quote by Manos Hadjidakis
““You see, only defeat forces things to change. When losing, we feel reborn and we find the guts to live again by performing the same mistakes under new forms. On the contrary, victory humiliates human sentiment and hopelessly sends people to celebrate along with wine and prostitutes.””
