Panta Rei

?I hope nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.?

this is a drawing I made from a scene of Zorba the Greek.
Everybody should read the book. everybody! they should make pupils read it in schools. sometimes i feel like there's not much of an education to life. they teach you facts and things and facts and forget to teach you how to appreciate life and how to make it valuable.
and who's read the book and believes in it should make everything to follow it not just stop at the intellectual level of thought.

Alexis Zorba: Damn it boss, I like you too much not to say it. You've got everthing except one thing: madness! A man needs a little madness, or else...
Basil: Or else?
Alexis Zorba: ...he never dares cut the rope and be free.

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
