“إِنَّ الإِنسانَ يَستَطيعُ أَنْ يُعبِّرَ عَن نصف أَفكاره فقط ، لأنه لا يعمل إلا نصف عمله فقط .
إن العالم موجود في هذه الحالة اليائسة ، لأن الإنسان نصف فاضل ، نصف شرير . اذهب حتى النهاية ، ارمِ بعيداً ولا تخف ، عنئذ تنتصر”
― Zorba the Greek

“Eleanor was an orphan at the age of 10. She went to live with her maternal Grandma Hall, a bitter and biblically strict woman who nonetheless struggled to control her children.

“A solemn sadness reigns. A great peace is around us. In its light our cares of the working day grow small and trivial, and bread and cheese—ay, and even kisses—do not seem the only things worth striving for. Thoughts we cannot speak but only listen to flood in upon us, and standing in the stillness under earth's darkening dome, we feel that we are greater than our petty lives. Hung round with those dusky curtains, the world is no longer a mere dingy workshop, but a stately temple wherein man may worship, and where at times in the dimness his groping hands touch God's.”
