The film “Zorba The Greek“, based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis  (1883 –1957), was nominated for seven and won three Academy Awards in 1964.

QUOTES FROM THE FILM:

“You’ve got everthing except one thing: madness! A man needs a little madness, or else he never dares cut the rope and be free. “

“Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and *look* for trouble.”

“On a deaf man’s door, you can knock forever!”

“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. I know because a very wise old Turk told me.”

“Am I not a man? And is a man not stupid? I’m a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe.”

“You think too much.That is your trouble.Clever people and grocers, they weigh everything. “

“If a woman sleeps alone, it puts a shame on all men. “
