“Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness.

Everything passes.

“Να πεθαίνεις κάθε μέρα. Να γεννιέσαι κάθε μέρα. Ν' αρνιέσαι ό, τι έχεις κάθε μέρα. Η ανώτατη αρετή δεν είναι να' σαι ελεύτερος, παρά να μάχεσαι για ελευτερία.
Μην καταδέχεσαι να ρωτάς: "Θα νικήσουμε; Θα νικηθούμε;" Πολέμα!”
― Νίκος Καζαντζάκης, Ασκητική

“Other people must be destroyed. In order that I might truly face the sun, the world itself must be destroyed....”
