“Το Αιγαίο δεν είναι μονάχα φως και θάλασσα. Μπαίνει μες στην καρδιά των ανθρώπων,γίνεται πρώτα ένας χτύπος,ύστερα άλλος,ώσπου γίνεται όλοι οι χτύποι της καρδιάς. Μπαίνει μες στις φλέβες και γίνεται αίμα. Καίει το αίμα. Μπαίνει μες στη μνήμη,κι από τότε τίποτα πια δεν μπόρει να το σβήσει ως την ώρα του θανάτου. Το Αιγαίο σε φωνάζει πάντα και σε καλεί.”
Ilias Venezis, Αιολική γη

“Εδώ η ζωή μας μένει σταματισμένη
στο αβέβαιο ημίφως
μακρινής ελπίδας.

Έμειναν έξω απ' τη θύρα
όλα όσα αγαπούμε,
τ' αφήσαμε εκεί
περνώντας το κατώφλι...

(Στίχοι του ποιητή Αντισμηνάρχου Μιχάλη Ακύλλα, γραμμένοι στη φυλακή. Τον εκτελέσανε οι Γερμανοί στην αυγή της 5 Ιουνίου 1942)”
Ilias Venezis, Μπλοκ C
