“Sebelum membaca Zorba, pepohonan di jalanan hanyalah kumpulan daun dan ranting tak Bernama. Tapi setelah membacanya, dia memberi pepohonan itu nama-nama berdasarkan engetahuan barunya: pohon tin liar, tamariska, semak alang-alang, dan tanaman Verbascum. Alam tercipta ulang di hadapannya, seolah-olah Big Bang baru terjadi dan dialah manusia pertama yang bertugas menamai benda-benda.”

“He was dejected by the sterility of worldly achievement and mourned the futility of all worldly endeavour. In endeavour, itself, as he had to admit from his own experience, there was a certain dynamic entertainment, affording an illusion of useful purpose. With achievement the illusion was dispelled. The purpose grasped was so much water in the hands. Man’s greatest accomplishment was to produce change. Restlessness abode in him none the less because no one state could be shown to be better than another. The only good in life was study, because study was an endeavour that never reached fulfilment. It busied a man to the end of his days, and it aimed at the only true reality in all this world of shams and deceits.”
