“My 'Report to Greco' is not an autobiography.” — Nikos Kazantzakis

God hates a half-devil ten times more than an arch-devil!

Let your youth have free reign. It won't come again, so be bold, and no repenting.

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.

I fight to embrace the entire circle of human activity to the full extent of my ability.
