To all of you who take responsibility for these lives of ours and dispose of them so heartlessly and gratuitously for your own sakes, so that for no purpose they may become as resourceless as your meagre souls, take also these wages of mine, insignificant as they may be to you, and turn them into dust and ashes along with your own prestige. However, do not deprive me for even one moment of my dignity in being a woman of Greece! Georgia Markea
