Of Cities And Women (Letters To Fawwaz) by Etel Adnan

'Greece leans towards goddesses. These create, with the gods, an ideal society : a projection of what women and men could be if they were what they are. In this world where the Mediterranean civilization blossomed, goddesses and gods are neither angels nor beasts, nor creatures of the happy medium. On the contrary, with bristled hair, they represent the actualization of all our potential, a maximal plenitude of life. They neither resolve nor avoid conflict. Passions burn in them with all the primeval fuel. It's peril and adventure up to the hilt. 
And we are probably moving towards a form of society similar in many ways to this ancient Greece.'
