Il n'y a pour l'homme que trois événements: naître, vivre et mourir. Il ne se sent pas naître, il souffre à mourir, et il oublie de vivre.

“The star dies, but the light never dies; such also is the cry of freedom.”
Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of God
The Saviors of God (1923)
Context: How does the light of a star set out and plunge into black eternity in its immortal course? The star dies, but the light never dies; such also is the cry of freedom.
Out of the transient encounter of contrary forces which constitute your existence, strive to create whatever immortal thing a mortal may create in this world — a Cry.
And this Cry, abandoning to the earth the body which gave it birth, proceeds and labors eternally.
“The stars are alive and nights like these
were born to be sanctified by you and me.”
