I possess no weapon but love. With that I have come to do battle. Help me! - Nikos Kazantzakis

I say one thing, you write another, and those who read you understand still something else! I say: cross, death, kingdom of heaven, God...and what do you understand? Each of you attaches his own suffering, interests and desires to each of these sacred words, and my words disappear, my soul is lost. I can't stand it any longer!

Έχουν να πουν πως άνθρωπος είναι το ζώο που συλλογιέται το θάνατο. Όχι, σου λέω εγώ. Άνθρωπος είναι το ζώο που συλλογιέται την αθανασία.

Behind all appearances, I divine a struggling essence. I want to merge with it. I feel that behind appearances this struggling essence is also striving to merge with my heart. But the body stands between us and separates us. The mind stands between us and separates us.
