Nikos Kazantzakis

'I swear I did not want to blossom, but suddenly I felt a warm springtime breeze in my heart. Nikos Kazantzakis
If a woman sleeps alone it puts a shame on all men. God has a very big heart, but there is one sin He will not forgive. If a woman calls a man to her bed and he will not go. Nikos Kazantzakis
