More quotes by Nikos Kazantzakis

Nikos Kazantzakis
Only after I've seen the visible can I imagine what the invisible is.
Nikos Kazantzakis

Nikos Kazantzakis

Nikos Kazantzakis
I know now: I do not hope for anything. I do not fear anything, I have freed myself from both the mind and the heart, I have mounted much higher, I am free .
Nikos Kazantzakis
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
Nikos Kazantzakis
The canary is like a man's soul. It sees bars around it, but instead of despairing, it sings.
Nikos Kazantzakis
What happiness this is: to fly, skimming over the earth just as we do in our dreams! Life has become a dream. Can this be the meaning of paradise?
Nikos Kazantzakis
The masses do not see the Sirens. They do not hear songs in the air. Blind, deaf, stooping, they pull at their oars in the hold of the earth. But the more select, the captains, harken to a Siren within them...and royally squander their lives with her.
Nikos Kazantzakis
It doesn't matter whether or not you have a head, you must wear the right sort of hat
