When shall I at last retire into solitude alone, without companions, without joy and without sorrow, with only the sacred certainty that all is a dream? When, in my rags—without desires—shall I retire contented into the mountains? When, seeing that my body is merely sickness and crime, age and death, shall I—free, fearless, and blissful—retire to the forest? When? When, oh when?
Nikos KazantzakisAll my life one of my greatest desires has been to travel-to see and touch unknown countries, to swim in unknown seas, to circle the globe, observing new lands, seas, people, and ideas with insatiable appetite, to see everything for the first time and for the last time, casting a slow, prolonged glance, then to close my eyes and feel the riches deposit themselves inside me calmly or stormily according to their pleasure, until time passes them at last through its fine sieve, straining the quintessence out of all the joys and sorrows.
Nikos KazantzakisFree yourself from one passion to be dominated by another and nobler one. But is not that, too, a form of slavery? To sacrifice oneself to an idea, to a race, to God? Or does it mean that the higher the model the longer the longer the tether of our slavery?
Nikos KazantzakisFreedom was my first great desire. The second, which remains hidden within me to this day, tormenting me, was the desire for sanctity. Hero together with saint: such is mankind's supreme model.
Nikos KazantzakisI'm fighting to save myself, and save myself, I will." Mary Magdalene in The Last Temptation of Christ
Nikos KazantzakisOverdraw me Lord, and who cares if I break!
Nikos KazantzakisI hope nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
Nikos KazantzakisTruly, everything in this world depended on time. Time ripened all. If you had time, you succeeded in working the human mud internally and turning it into spirit. Then you did not fear death. If you did not have time, you perished.
Nikos KazantzakisLife is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and *look* for trouble.
Nikos Kazantzakisآری هدف زمین زندگی نیست، انسان نیست. زمین بدون اینها نیز بوده است و بدون اینها نیز خواهد بود. انسان و زندگی جرقه هایی هستند که از چرخش تند رمین به بیرون پرتاب شده اند.
بیایید متحد شویم، بیایید دست یکدیگر را محکم بگیریم، بیایید دلهامان را یکی کنیم ، بیایید بیافرینیم – تا زمانی که گرمای این زمین هنوز احساس می شود ، تا زمانی که هنوز زلزله ای ، فاجعه ای ، یخچال غول پیکری یا ستاره ددنباله داری نابودماننکرده است – بیایید برای زمین مغزی و قلبی بیافرینیم ، بیایید به این تکاپوی فوق بشری معنایی انسانی ببخشیم.
