Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“I hope nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.”
Nikos Kazantzakis

“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their
own.”
Nikos Kazantzakis
