„The centuries are thick, dark waves that rise and fall, steeped in blood. Every moment is a gaping abyss.Gaze on the dark sea without staggering, confront the abyss every moment without illusion or impudence or fear. … But this is not enough; take a further step: battle to give meaning to the confused struggles of man.“

— Nikos Kazantzakis
