from the destruction of Smyrna:

Tiffanitsa, this is one of the moments I really regret you, being not
sighted. No description can substitute what you can't see, especially
in a movie without sound. At least, it saves you tears.

Well, especially in what regards the Asia Minor Catastrophe, we Greeks
have a suitable expression: Ας προσέχαμε! (we should have known
better). We didn't find the Smyrna region enough, where the big
countries accepted us sending greek armed forces to cater for law and
order, we wanted Ankara...
