I said only one word, brought only one message: Love. Love — nothing else. - Nikos Kazantzakis

Who holds a sword is tempted, who has youth must play,
he who does not fear death on earth does not fear God.

I subdue matter and force it to become my mind's good medium. I rejoice in plants, in animals, in man and in gods, as though they were my children. I feel all the universe nestling about me and following me as though it were my own body.

لكنـِّي نجوت!. عبرتُ النباتات ذات اللحاء السميك. عبرتُ الأسماك والطيور والوحوش، وصرتُ إنساناً.
لقد صرتُ إنساناً.. والآن أكافح لكي أتركه خلفي.
