Amor Quote by Nikos Kazantzakis
““Eu, baiete, vad civilizatiile cum vede un poet norii de pe cer, care urca, cresc, se umfla de ploaie, de furtuni si de fulgere; apoi sufla un vanticel, norii isi schimba forma, se fugaresc, se disloca, luand foc la apusul soarelui, risipindu-se la suflarea vantului. Ai putea sa privesti astfel civilizatiile, oamenii, zeii? E foarte greu, dar incearca baiete, curaj!””
