Miltiades

“Every one follows his own bent. Man is like a tree. You've never quarrelled with a fig tree because it doesn't bear cherries, have you?”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“She was touched and began to open her heart to me. It was like opening an old chest, full of spices, yellowed love-letters and ancient dresses.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“We sense happiness with difficulty while experiencing it. Only when it has passed and we look back do we suddenly comprehend, sometimes with astonishment, how happy we have been. I, however, on this Cretan shore, was experiencing happiness while being simultaneously aware of my happiness.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“Death had entered my life with a familiar and well-loved face, like a friend come to call for you and who waits patiently in a corner until you have finished your work.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
