Zorbas had the same feelings of deep friendship and admiration for Kazantzakis: "Boss", he shouted "I have a lot to say to you, I have never loved a man like you, I have a lot to tell you but I can't describe them with words. So I will put them into dance! Keep away; don't let me step on you! Come on! Hop! Hop!" He leapt; his feet and his hands became his wings. He jumped straight up and as I saw him in the depths of the sky and the sea, he seemed to me like an old archangel rebel." Quotation from "Zorba the Greek”, pg. 343
