I feel all the universe nestling about me and following me as though it were my own body.”Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of GodThe Saviors of God (1923)

“The heart unites whatever the mind separates, pushes on beyond the arena of necessity and transmutes the struggle into love.”Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of GodThe Saviors of God (1923)
