“The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all...” — Nikos Kazantzakis Quote

“The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.”

“How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. . . . All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.”

“Once more I realized to what an extent earthly happiness is made to the measure of man. It is not a rare bird which we must pursue at one moment in heaven, at the next in our minds. Happiness is a domestic bird found in our own courtyards.”
