Reach what you cannot
Nikos Kazantzakis
It doesn't matter whether or not you have a head, you must wear the right sort of hat
Nikos Kazantzakis
Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Death's dry bones glowed with light in the erotic dark but he woke not nor felt the two warm bodies merge the male worm then took heart and in his wife's ear whispered: With one sweet kiss, dear wife, we've conquered conquering Death!
Nikos Kazantzakis
God sends rain, but He also sends hoods and when the rain grows heavier, He sends a cave.
Nikos Kazantzakis
I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.
Nikos Kazantzakis
A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free.
Nikos Kazantzakis
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!
Nikos Kazantzakis
My soul comes from better worlds and I have an incurable homesickness of the stars.
Nikos Kazantzakis
You do miracles if you concentrate your mind on one thing and one thing only.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Every obstacle in his journey became a milestone, an occasion for further triumph. We have a model in front of us now, a model who blazes our trail and gives us strength.
Nikos Kazantzakis
The doors of heaven and hell are adjacent and identical.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Cursed be all those on land and sea who eat their fill, cursed be all those who starve yet raise no hand in protest, cursed be all the bread, the wine, the meat which day by day descends deep in the entrails of the exploited man and turns not into freedom's cry, the murderer's ruthless knife!
Nikos Kazantzakis
All roads lead to the earth the abyss leads to God. Jump!
Nikos Kazantzakis
All the political, social, and economic improvements, all the technical progress cannot have any regenerating significance, so long as our inner life remains as it is at present. The more the intelligence unveils and violates the secrets of Nature, the more the danger increases and the heart shrinks.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Overdraw me, Lord, and who cares if I break.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Every man has his folly, but the greatest folly of all … is not to have one.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Free 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 Kazantzakis
What, then is our duty? It is to carefully distinguish the historic moment in which we live and to consciously assign our small energies to a specific battlefield. The more we are in phase with the current which leads the way, the more we aid man in his difficult, uncertain, danger-fraught ascent toward salvation.
Nikos Kazantzakis
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
Nikos Kazantzakis
