Yanni
In the English language, I can love my car, or my house, or my daughter, or traveling, but in Greek and how I grew up, love is described with different words.
Yanni
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
Yanni
Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.
Yanni
I am so happy that I didn’t go to school and I didn’t have anyone to tell me how to position my fingers on the piano correctly.
Yanni
Whether a person is spiritual or not, we all seek to get away from the stress, anger, and anxiety of everyday life. Some people drink, do drugs, or do worse to escape, and they hurt themselves in the process. Some people listen to music, mine included, and feel better.
Yanni
