“Този човек — рекох си аз — не е ходил на училище и умът му не се е покварил. Много е видял и много е патил, отворил се е умът му, разширило се е сърцето му, но без да загуби първичната си смелост. Всички сложни, неразрешими за нас проблеми той ги разрешава с един удар, разсича ги като сънародника си Александър Велики. Трудно би се излъгал той, защото се опира целият, от главата до петите, на земята. Африканските диваци обожествяват змията, защото с цялото си тяло се допира до земята и по този начин знае всичките й тайни. Узнава ги с корема, с опашката, със слабините, с главата си. Допира се, слива се, става едно с Майката. Такъв е и Зорбас. А ние, образованите, сме глупавите птици на въздуха.”

“He suffered greatly from being shut up among all these people whose stupidity and absurdities wounded him all the more cruelly since, being ignorant of his love, incapable, had they known of it, of taking any interest, or of doing more than smile at it as at some childish joke, or deplore it as an act of insanity, they made it appear to him in the aspect of a subjective state which existed for himself alone, whose reality there was nothing external to confirm; he suffered overwhelmingly, to the point at which even the sound of the instruments made him want to cry, from having to prolong his exile in this place to which Odette would never come, in which no one, nothing was aware of her existence, from which she was entirely absent.”

“What first truly stirred my soul was not fear or pain, nor was it pleasure or games; it was the yearning for freedom. I had to gain freedom - but from what, from whom? Little by little, in the course of time, I mounted freedom's rough unaccommodating ascent. To gain freedom first of all from the Turk, that was the initial step; after that, later, this new struggle began: to gain freedom from the inner Turk - from ignorance, malice and envy, from fear and laziness, from dazzling false ideas; and finally from idols, all of them, even the most revered and beloved.”

“Чувай: никой не може да знае какво става в две, между две живи човешки души. Освен двете души. Когато между тях лежи севда. Никой. Даже и двете души. Разбра ли? Защото само в севда душата на човека е истинска. Най-истинска. А истинското човек не разбира и у себе си, камо ли у другите.”

“I did not know what I was going to do with my life; before anything else I wanted to find an answer, my answer, to the timeless questions, and then after that I would decide what I would become. If I did not begin by discovering what was the grand purpose of life on earth, I said to myself, how would I be able to discover the purpose of my tiny ephemeral life? And if I did not give my life a purpose, how would I be able to engage in action? I was not interested in finding what life's purpose was objectively - this, I divined, was impossible and futile - but simply what purpose I, of my own free will, could give it in accord with my spiritual and intellectual needs. Whether or not this purpose was the true one did not, at that time, have any great significance for me. The important thing was that I should find (should create) a purpose congruent with my own self, and thus, by following it, reel out my particular desires and abilities to the furthest possible limit. For then at last I would be collaborating harmoniously with the totality of the universe.”
