Brave Words: Δεν ελπίζω τίποτα, δεν φοβάμαι τίποτα, ειμαι ελεύθερος

I hope for nothing,

I fear nothing,

I’m free.

Δεν ελπίζω τίποτα, δεν φοβάμαι τίποτα, ειμαι ελεύθερος .

(Nikos Kazantzakis, Letter to Börje Knös, 12.12.1947).

More appropriate as the epitaph for Kazantzakis' tombstone than as a slogan for a million tourists' T-shirts?  


I used to wear one in bed. Now I know better.
