“Man hurries, God does not. That is why man's works are uncertain and maimed, while God's are flawless and sure. My eyes welling with tears, I vowed never to transgress this eternal law again. Like a tree I would be blasted by wind, struck by sun and rain, and would wait with confidence; the long-desired hour of flowering and fruit would come.”

“What is love?It's not empathy, nor kindness.Empathy takes two, the one who hurts and the one who empathizes.Kindness takes two, the one who gives and the one who takes.But love takes just one.The two get together into one.They don't separate.The "I" and the "you" disappear.I LOVE MEANS I DISAPPEAR..”
Nikos Kazantzakis“Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“One of man's greatest obligations is anger.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“When everything goes wrong, what a joy to test your soul and see if it has endurance and courage. An invisible and all-powerful enemy - some call him God, others the Devil, seem to rush upon us to destroy us; but we are not destroyed.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“I felt deep within me that 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“Tell me what you do with the food you eat, and I'll tell you who you are. Some turn their food into fat and manure, some into work and good humour, and others, I'm told, into God. So there must be three sorts of men.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“While experiencing happiness, we have difficulty in being conscious of it. Only when the happiness is past and we look back on it do we suddenly realise - sometimes with astonishment - how happy we had been.”
Nikos Kazantzakis“Happiness is a simple everyday miracle, like water, and we are not aware of it.”
