More quotes by Nikos Kazantzakis
God is action, complete with mistakes, fumblings, persistence, agony. God is not the power that has found eternal equilibrium, but the power that is forever breaking every equilibrium, forever searching for a higher one.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Inexperience loves to preach.
Nikos Kazantzakis
My soul comes from better worlds and I have an incurable homesickness of the stars.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Good Lord, how can the rich bear to die?
Nikos Kazantzakis
All those who actually live the mysteries of life haven't the time to write, and all those who have the time don't live them! D'you see?
Nikos Kazantzakis
The canary is like a man's soul. It sees bars around it, but instead of despairing, it sings.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Before me is the abyss. How can I leap across it? And if I do not leap, how shall I ever be able to reach God?
Nikos Kazantzakis
Every man has his folly, but the greatest folly of all … is not to have one.
Nikos Kazantzakis
We are not men, to have need of another, an eternal life we are women, and for us one moment with man we love is everlasting Paradise, one moment far from the man we love is everlasting hell. It is here on earth that we women love out eternity
Nikos Kazantzakis
Two equally steep and bold paths may lead to the same peak. To act as if death did not exist, or to act thinking every minute of death, is perhaps the same thing.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Ah, if you could dance all that you've just said, then I'd understand.
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
God sends rain, but He also sends hoods and when the rain grows heavier, He sends a cave.
Nikos Kazantzakis
The human soul is heavy, clumsy, held in the mud of the flesh. Its perceptions are still coarse and brutish. It can divine nothing clearly, nothing with certainty.
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
Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Life on earth means: the sprouting of wings.
Nikos Kazantzakis
When I encounter a sunrise, a painting, a woman, or an idea that makes my heart bound like a young calf, then I know I am standing in front of happiness.
Nikos Kazantzakis
No wide road leads to God.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Yes, there is weeping, even in heaven, but it is for those who are still crawling on the earth.
Nikos Kazantzakis
