“تذكّرت، وتذكّرت، وتذكّرت، كل حيـاتي هكذا: مسلسل من "الذكريات"، وكل فكرة تقود لأُخرى، تقود هي نفسهـا لأُخرى، تقود هي نفسها لـ .. وذاكرتي ليست دقيقة أبدًا، وعادة ما أُبَدِّل وأُغيـِّر فيها، وأُرمِّم، وأحذف، وأُبقي، وأخترع ذكريـات، وهكذا، وهكذا.
وضعت رأسي على حافة الشُّبـاك وكأنني سأغسله في الفضـاء الأزرق وحـوالت ألا أتذكّر شيئـًا أبدًا.”

“على وجهٍ ما الحبّ حرية،وعلى وجهٍ آخر فقدانٌ للحرية،ضرورةٌ عمياء، انسياق، تسكّعٌ تحت ضغطِ قوى غير مفهومة،الحبُ إراداتٌ مختلفة في روحٍ واحدة،إرادات تخلق دوامات:إرادة أن أنكر،إرادة أن أبالغ،إرادة أن أتخيّل،أن أعرف، أن أبدع،وربما فيّ إرادة أن أنهكَ نفسي،أن أشدّها كوترٍ من الفضّة حتى تغنِّي أو تنقطع.”

“No, you're not free," he said. "The string you're tied to is perhaps no longer than other people's. That's all. You're on a long piece of string, boss; you come and go, and think you're free, but you never cut the string in two. And when people don't cut that string . . ."
"I'll cut it some day!" I said defiantly, because Zorba's words had touched an open wound in me and hurt.
"It's difficult, boss, very difficult. You need a touch of folly to do that; folly, d'you see? You have to risk everything! But you've got such a strong head, it'll always get the better of you. A man's head is like a grocer; it keeps accounts: I've paid so much and earned so much and that means a profit of this much or a loss of that much! The head's a careful little shopkeeper; it never risks all it has, always keeps something in reserve. It never breaks the string. Ah no! It hangs on tight to it, the bastard! If the string slips out of its grasp, the head, poor devil, is lost, finished! But if a man doesn't break the string, tell me, what flavor is left in life? The flavor of camomile, weak camomile tea! Nothing like rum-that makes you see life inside out!”
― Zorba the Greek
