Quote by Nikos Kazantzakis
““Soarele urca sus pe bolta, ajuns in inaltul cerului, se opri o clipa. Se afla acum deasupra nisipurilor desertului. Scoarta pamantului exala o suflare aprinsa, apele erau secate, izvoarele astupate, lumina curgea ca o cataracta peste muntii rosiatici, trandafirii, lumina e singura e singura cadere de apa in acest desert.””
