This phenomenon is, of course, unprecedented in the history of man.
Nikos Kazantzakis
There's a devil inside me which cries, You're not the son of the Carpenter, you're the son of King David! You are not a man, you are the Son of man whom Daniel prophesied. And still more: The Son of God! And still more: God!
Nikos Kazantzakis
