Nikos Kazantzakis

Nikos Kazantzakis
Overdraw me, Lord, and who cares if I break.
Nikos Kazantzakis
God, what is all this talk put out by the popes? Paradise is here, my good man. God, give me no other paradise!
Nikos Kazantzakis
Every village has its simpleton, and if one does not exist they invent one to pass the time.
Nikos Kazantzakis
God sends rain, but He also sends hoods and when the rain grows heavier, He sends a cave.
Nikos Kazantzakis
