View AllLet your youth have free reign. It won't come again, so be bold, and no repenting.— Nikos Kazantzakis
The struggle between God and man breaks out in everyone, together with the longing for reconciliation... God does not love weak souls and flabby flesh. The spirit desires to wrestle with flesh which is strong and full of resistance. It is a carnivorous bird which is incessantly hungry; it eats flesh and, by assimilating it, makes it disappear.— Nikos Kazantzakis
