“إن صلاتي ليست ندبة شحاذ، ولا اعترافات عاشق، ولا حسابات متواضعة لتاجر مقايضة صغير: وهبتك فاعطني.

إن صلاتي هي تقرير من جندي إلى قائده: هذا ما فعلته اليوم.. هكذا حاربت لكي أنقذ قطاعي الخاص طوال المعركة، هذه هي المعوقات التي واجهتها.. وهكذا أفكر استعدادا لمعركة الغد.”
― نيكوس كزنتزاكس, تصوف: منقذو الآلهة

“Every integral man has inside him, in his heart of hearts, a mystic center around which all else revolves. This mystic whirling lends unity to his thoughts and actions; it helps him find or invent the cosmic harmony. For some this center is love, for others kindness or beauty, others the thirst for knowledge or the longing for gold and power. They examine the relative value of all else and subordinate it to this central passion.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco

tags: passion, unity
