“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 of a sudden that in your heart,
life has accomplished its final miracle:

it has become a fairy tale.”

Nikos Kazantzakis, “Zorba the Greek”
