“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.”
