هكذا كان كبار المتنئبين وكبار الشعراء , يرون كل شيئ للمرة الأولى كل صباح , يرون أمامهم عالماً جديداً يخلقونه بأنفسهم - Nikos Kazantzakis

As I watched the seagulls, I thought: "That's the road to take; find the absolute rhythm and follow it with absolute trust."

قليل من الأشياء, وكثيرٌ من القلب.

It is not you talking, but innumerable ancestors talking with your mouth. It is not you who desire, but innumerable generations of descendants longing with your heart. Your dead do not lie in the ground. They have become birds, trees, air. You sit under their shade, you are nourished by their flesh, you inhale their breathing. They have become ideas and passions, they determine your will and your actions. Future generations do not move far from you in an uncertain time. They live, desire, and act in your loins and your heart. In this lightning moment when you walk the earth, your first duty, by enlarging your ego, is to live through the endless march, both visible and invisible, of your own being.
