"Zorba the Greek"- Nikos Kazantzakis
This is true happiness: to have no ambition and to work like a horse as if you had every ambition. To live far from men, not to need them and yet to love them, To have the stars above, the land to your left and the sea to your right and to realize all of a sudden that in your heart, life has accomplished its final miracle: it has become a fairy tale.
When everything goes wrong, what a joy to test your soul and see if it has endurance and courage! An invisible and all- powerful enemy- sine call him God, others the Devil, seem to rush upon us to destroy us; but we are not destroyed.
