Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , , ,

“I’m telling you Boss: all these things that happen here in this world are unjust, unjust, unjust! I don’t sign my approval, I the tiny worm, the slug, the Zorba. Why should young boys and girls die while decrepit oldsters remain? Why should small children die? I had a small child, my Dimitraki, and he died on me when he was three years old-and never, never (do you hear me?) will I forgive God! When I breathe my last, if he has the nerve to appear before me, you should know that, if he is truly God, he will be ashamed-yes ashamed before me, Zorba the slug.”

Nikos Kazantzakis ,“Zorba the Greek”, 1947.
