Nikos Kazantzakis Quotes About Writing

Quotes about: Writing

• All those who actually live the mysteries of life haven't the time to write, and all those who have the time don't live them! D'you see?

  Nikos Kazantzakis

  Writing, Mystery, Havens

  Nikos Kazantzakis, Carl Wildman (1953). “Zorba the Greek”, p.217, Simon and Schuster

• I say one thing, you write another, and those who read you understand still something else! I say: cross, death, kingdom of heaven, God...and what do you understand? Each of you attaches his own suffering, interests and desires to each of these sacred words, and my words disappear, my soul is lost. I can't stand it any longer!

  Writing, Heaven, Soul

  Nikos Kazantzakis, Peter Bien (1988). “The Last Temptation of Christ”, p.415, Simon and Schuster

• A slave's soul has no worth, my brothers; it lacks strength to tread on this great earth with gallantry and freedom. I pity the poor slaves, they're nought but airy mist, a light breeze scatters them, a fragrance knocks them down; it's only just they crawl on the earth on hands and knees. Today I'll write a hymn to God and pray for this great grace.
