Nikos Kazantzakis
“I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

Mikhail Naimy
“Love is the law of God. You live that you may learn to love. You love
that you may learn to live. No other lesson is required of Man.You are
the tree of Life. Beware of fractionating yourselves. Set not a fruit against a fruit, a leaf against a leaf, a bough against a bough; nor
set the stem against the roots; nor set the tree against the mother-
soil. That is precisely what you do when you love one part more than
the rest, or to the exclusion of the rest. No love is possible except
by the love of self. No self is real save the All-embracing Self.
Therefore is God all Love, because he loves himself. So long as you
are pained by Love, you have not found your real self, nor have you
found the golden key of Love. Because you love an ephemeral self, your
love is ephemeral.”
Mikhail Naimy, The Book of Mirdad: The strange story of a monastery which was once called The Ark

Mario Benedetti
“عندما تتراكم الأعوام في عمر الإنسان، يبدأ بإدراك أن الوقت يفلت من بين يديه *”
Mario Benedetti, بقايا القهوة

Mikhail Naimy
“Too vast is Man and too imponderable his nature. Too varied are his
talents, and too inexhaustible his strength. Beware of those who
attempt to set him boundaries.Live as if your God Himself had need of
you His life to live. And so, in truth, He does.”
Mikhail Naimy, The Book of Mirdad: The strange story of a monastery which was once called The Ark

Socrates
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
Socrates
