    D.S.   Smith
    “Love is a necessity, just as lust is. Two instincts we modern humans have turned into our strongest emotions. Love gives us the desire to bond with a partner long enough to care for our children to an age when they can fend for themselves. Lust gives us the will to want to reproduce in the first place. These instincts are so deeply ingrained in our psyche that even with our advanced brains, they still govern us. We are now, for the most part, intelligent enough to decide who we want to love or have sex with. We can even control whether or not that sex results in offspring, but we can’t just ignore those instincts. From the simplest person to the most powerful kings, queens and presidents, our our lives are still governed by those two emotions.”
    D.S. Smith, Unparalleled

    Nikos Kazantzakis
    “و صرخت : أبي .. لقد راح عنبنا .

    فأجاب : نحن لم نرح. اخرس .

    لم أنس هذه اللحظة طوال حياتي. و أعتقد أنها نفعتني كدرس عظيم. في أزمات حياتي كنت دائما أتذكر أبي و هو واقف بهدوء ، دون حراك على العتبة ، دون أن يلعن أو يتوسل أو يبكي . بلا حراك كان واقفا يراقب الخراب . ووحده بين الجيران كلهم ظل محافظا على كرامته البشرية. ص71”
    Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco
