This post was inspired from a friend on facebook posting a Nikos quote, so I had to search for more!
My dear lovely readers I grant ye the Greek wisdom of Nikos Kazantzakis (1883 - 1957), author of the fabulous Zorba the Greek and mighty philosopher;
"In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can."
"A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free."
"I expect nothing. I fear no one. I am free."
"Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality."

I'm so happy that you made that post!!Maybe more Greek people can understand the history we have cause certainly the newer ones have forgotten it!And if you have no history you are nothing!!!!
I love great quotes. Thanks for sharing!

"A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free." This is so true! Thanks for sharing! ;p
