Nikoz Kazantzakis

Kazantzakis is one of my favourite thinkers. Specially when he confronts religion and god. He is the author of the book Zorba the Greek, The Last Temptation of the Christ and Martin Scorsese used it as inspiration for the movie with the same name...

His life personal view released by his books and quotes definitely changed my life, specially my vision from god & religiion. I take all from him as an inspiration... by the way he was excommunicated from church...

I´m sharing with you some of his quotes so you can explore the depht of his thinking heart.
