Your invisible body is your dread ancestors and your unborn descendants. Your visible body is the living men, women, and children of your own race. Only he has been freed from the inferno of his ego who feels deep pangs of hunger when a child of his race has nothing to eat, who feels his heart throbbing with joy when a man and a woman of his race embrace and kiss one another.
 Nikos Kazantzakis, The Saviors of God (1927). copy citation
