I am kind of a curmudgeonly person, so I don't gravitate to groups or traditions, which is probably just pretentious of me. Anne Carson curmudgeonlygravitategroup Change image and share on social

I started to learn Greek when I was in high school, the last year of high school, by accident, because my teacher knew Greek and she offered to teach me on the lunch hour, so we did it in an informal way, and then I did it at university, and that was the main thing of my life.
