"After I finished my studies
in Athens I returned home and hung my shingle. I had not tried many cases
in the court of my home island before it became necessary for me to take
up arms against the Turkish governement....I soon reached the point where
I had to decide whether I ought to be a lawyer by profession and a revolutionary
at intervals or a revolutionary by profession and a lawyer at intervals...
I naturally became a revolutionary by profession." Venizelos -Paris; 1919
