Art by #Photoceanos #AIdimitrios 🌬️🌊BUDDHAWASGREEK … “I remained silent. Listening to Zorba, I sensed the world’s virginity being renewed. Everyday things that had lost their luster regained the brightness they had possessed the moment they emerged from God’s hands. Water, women, stars, and bread returned to their primordial, mysterious source; the divine wheel regained its rotational momentum in the sky.” … (Zorba the Greek - Nikos Kazantzakis) ℹ️ Anthony Quinn, the actor who played Zorba in the 1964 movie adaptation of this wonderfully life-affirming book, once had a knife pulled on him in New York City’s Central Park. The attacker had come up to Quinn from behind and, with the knife pointed against his back, ordered him to turn around. Quinn had just been nominated for an Oscar for portraying Kazantzakis’s ecstatic, life-loving creation who laughed at death, and inspired hundreds of thousands of readers with his philosophy of “living immediately and intensely.” But in the dark of night, the knife-wielding attacker couldn’t possibly have known who he was about to stab. What happened — and this is true! — is that when he turned around, the moon lit up Quinn’s face, and there was a flash — not of steel, but of recognition. That’s…that’s the guy from the movie! That’s Zorba the Greek — the Yea-sayer, the Life-affirmer, the Death-renouncing Zorba the Greek! History doesn’t record whether the mugger held onto his knife, but he immediately pulled it away from Quinn’s back and exclaimed, “Mr. Zorba! I’m so sorry!” And ran off into the night.

I also can't help but recognizing Aristotle #Onassis in some of these too and this could be justified as well as this great actor also portrayed a version of him in the 1978 film “The Greek Tycoon“!!!  (Music by Demis Roussos - Zorba's dance, original composed by Mikis Theodorakis) 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹 #nikoskazantzakis #zorbathebuddha #zorbathegreek #anthonyquinn #oceanvibes #syrtaki
