الحرية هي أن تهوى شيئاً ما، وأن تجمع قطع الذهب، وفجأة تتغلب على هواك وتلقي بكنزك في الهواء، أن تتحرر من هوى لتخضع لهوى آخر أكثر نبلاً منه.

Nikos Kazantzakis

„Алексис — рече ми той, — ще ти доверя едно нещо; малък си още и няма да го разбереш; ще го разбереш, когато пораснеш. Слушай, чедо мое: господ не могат го побра седемте ката на небето и седемте ката на земята; ала го побира сърцето на човека. И затова внимавай, Алексис, жив да си, внимавай да не нараниш никога сърцето на човека!

The unfailing rhythm of the seasons, the ever-turning wheel of life, the four facets of the earth which are lit in turn by the sun, the passing of life--all these filled me once more with a feeling of oppression. Once more there sounded within me, together with the cranes' cry, the terrible warning that there is only one life for all men, that there is no other, and that all that can be enjoyed must be enjoyed here. In eternity no other chance will be given to us.

A mind hearing this pitiless warning--a warning which, at the same time, is so compassionate--would decide to conquer its weakness and meanness, its laziness and vain hopes and cling with all its power to every second which flies away forever.

Great examples come to your mind and you see clearly that you are a lost soul, your life is being frittered away on petty pleasures and pains and trifling talk. "Shame! Shame!" you cry, and bite your lips.

When you've made up your mind, no use lagging behind, go ahead and no relenting,
Let your youth have free reign, it won't come again, so be bold and no repenting.

Luck is blind, they say. It can’t see where it’s going and keeps running into people…and the people it knocks into we call lucky! Well, to hell with luck if it's like that, I say!

…Man’s heart is a ditch full of blood. The loved ones who have died throw themselves down on the bank of this ditch to drink the blood and so come to life again; the dearer they are to you, the more of your blood they drink.” - The Narrator.

I felt deep within me that the highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge, or Virtue, or Goodness, or Victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more despairing: Sacred Awe!” - The Narrator.

عديدة هي أفراح هذا العالم -النساء , الفواكه , والأفكار . أما أن تشق عباب هذا البحر في فصل خريفي حنون ,وأنت تتمتم باسم كل جزيرة , فأنا لا اعتقد ان ثمة فرحاً كهذا يغرق قلب الإنسان في الفردوس
