Additional quotes by Nikos Kazantzakis

إن الأحزان كلها أيها الرئيس ، تشطر قلبي إلى قطعتين .
لكنه هذا المليء بالندوب ، المثخن بالجراح ، سرعان ما يلتصق على نفسه ، ولا يعود للجرح وجود .
إنني مليء بالجراح التي تحولت إلى مجرد ندوب ولهذا فإنني أستطيع أن أتحمل الضربات .

Behind the stream of my mind and body, behind the stream of my race and all mankind, behind the stream of plants and animals, I watch with trembling the Invisible, treading on all visible things and ascending. Behind his heavy and blood-splattered feet I hear all living things being trampled on and crushed. His face is without laughter, dark and silent, beyond joy and sorrow, beyond hope.
