Quotes
- The meaning of the words, art, love, beauty, purity, passion, all this was made clear to me by the simplest of human words uttered by this workman.
- It is difficult for him to miss his aim, because his two feet are held firmly planted on the ground by the weight of his whole body.
- The universe for Zorba, as for the first men on earth, was a weighty, intensive vision; the stars glided over him, the sea broke against his temples. He lived the earth, water, the animals and God, without the distorting intervention of reason.
- They made a circle round Zorba and the santuri and began dancing on the pebbled shore. Thrilled, I watched them in silence. This is, I thought, the real vein I have been looking for! I want no other.
- The sight of a man just rends my poor devil, I think; he also eats and drinks and makes love and is frightened, whoever he is: he has his God and his devil just the same, and he’ll peg out and lie as stiff as a board beneath the ground and be food for worms, just the same.
- Each time that within ourselves we are the conquerors, although externally utterly defeated, we human beings feel an indescribable pride and joy. Outward calamity is transformed into a supreme and unshakable felicity.
