"This is true happiness: to have no ambition and to
work like a horse as if you had every ambition. To live far from men, not to
need them and yet to love them. To have the stars above, the land to your left
and the sea to your right and to realize of a sudden that in your heart, life
has accomplished its final miracle: it has become a fairy tale.” ―Greek man of
letters Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957), Zorba the Greek (1946)
The image accompanying this post comes from the 1964
adaptation of the Kazantzakis novel, starring Anthony Quinn—pictured here—in
the title role.
