I am a weak, ephemeral creature made of mud and dream. But I feel all the powers of the universe whirling within me.
Nikos KazantzakisWhen shall I at last retire into solitude alone, without companions, without joy and without sorrow, with only the sacred certainty that all is a dream? When, in my ragsโwithout desiresโshall I retire contented into the mountains? When, seeing that my body is merely sickness and crime, age and death, shall Iโfree, fearless, and blissfulโretire to the forest? When? When, oh when?
Nikos Kazantzakis
