Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Only Fact is Me (Sonnet 2655) I'm the impulse before the language, I'm the reason before the science, I'm the pulse before the poetry, I'm the kernel before the divinity. I'm larger than genre, larger than grammar, I'm larger than primate dictionary. I'm the duty that precedes the path, I'm the mutation before the humanity. I switch languages like radio, I switch cultures like seasons - if you tie Naskar to a nation, you've failed the Naskar mission. Only fact in this universe - is me - and I am nothing, so nothing is fact, everything is flux - and I - am the flux of infinity.”

“I'm the center that the dervish whirls around, I'm the flame that syllables dance around - You think Naskar writes me, Naskar is an idiot, I'm beyond Naskar, beyond every single puny mortal brain, I'm the original sentience that occasionally seeks out fitting vessels, with a dominant tendency of expansion and a tinge of naivety, and makes them whirl at my whim, so that your little toddler species doesn't crawl back into jungle slime.”

“Finite versus Infinite Naskar (Sonnet 2672) Can I get my brain back now, if you're done hijacking it! "You're welcome to it, as if it'll make any difference whatsoever, you yourself have admitted that everything you write from thought is dull, that's why I took over in the first place!" I admit, I said that, nevertheless, do not underestimate rational thought, it may not come up with magical lines and equations, but it does achieve a great deal with sheer devotion and tedious scrutiny. Every potential transcendental idea still needs rational thought afterwards to be executed in the mortal world - alright, rational thought is nowhere near as radiant as what might be called divine inspiration, nevertheless, it has its irreplaceable place in society. Besides, I let you take over because I'd already made my contributions to rationality like any other scientist during my first few years, that was when I didn't know you existed, I had read stories about you, but didn't actually think that you'd turn me into yet another flute, like you once did to my brother Jalal long time ago!”

“America is The Warning (Sonnet) Finally America has fallen, it's a great day for the human race, now that the american dream is infected, it's a golden occasion for earth upliftment. Uncle Sam has contracted something nasty, nothing surprising, it's long time coming; the time has never been more immaculate, for actual human cultures and civilizations to dream beyond the monkeys of silicon valley. It's a golden age of decolonization, time to rescue your mind from the parasites; it's time for great rejoicing, now that the land of plague has lost its marbles - fall of America is a blessing for humankind. West never had culture to begin with, neither Washington nor Rome or Buck House - when parasites bury themselves in castles, light of the human engulf the world around.”

“Almost every child on earth dreams of travelling to America, then you grow up, and you realize, it's the last place on earth any civilized person should step foot on - and those born here can't wait to get out. It's not American Dream, it's American Scream - utopia for a white, straight, misogynistic animal kingdom to flourish, but an absolute purgatory for a civilized human society.”

“Hope Gone Sour (American Sonnet) America is not a country, America is an abomination. America is a scourge on the fabric of time, the ideal tale of precaution. America is a living record of humans regressing to animal. America is a perfect specimen of democracy cleverly dismantled. America is a nation built by terrorists for the terrorists. America holds world record for humanity's worst of atrocities. America is a promise of hope gone sour. America is plague amongst fellowship of powers.”

“In one of my early works I once wrote, "America is a great country, built by great people". And it took me some time to look through the fallacy of this statement. I could still justify it by saying, it depends on the context - which would be technically true. But my dignity, my conscience, my morality - everything that is civilized in me, has been eating me alive for some time now over this one statement. Because if we throw away all technicality and look from a simple, everyday human perspective - nothing about the the birth of America is great - America is a terrorist nation, built by terrorists who invaded other people's land, stripped them of their homes, and built a spin-off of the ruthless British empire over their blood and bones. You think America's homeless problem is something new! It's not - America has been making people homeless ever since the pilgrims set foot in Plymouth Rock. The pilgrims were not pioneers, they were terrorists.”

“There never was a real thanksgiving where the pilgrims welcomed the native americans to join them for a meal. And no amount of fairytale can change history. But what we can do is, start a tradition of real thanksgiving, by welcoming the persecuted and the discriminated into our hearts and accepting them as our family.”

“The founders of America were more criminal than modern immigrants – you know why – because the founders of America didn’t only enter this land illegally, but after entering they drove the natives out of their own home, whereas all that the immigrants of today want is to have a better life for their family. Now tell me – who are the real criminals?”

“Sin Lucha no Hay Vida (El Soneto) No hay vida sin lucha, No hay corazón sin angustia. No hay destino sin el viaje, No hay coraje sin algo de temor. No hay claridad sin algo de confusión, No hay serenidad sin sufrimiento. No hay satisfacción sin decepción, No hay resiliencia sin fracaso. No hay atención plena sin distracción, No hay elevación sin algo de devastación. No hay conocimiento sin ignorancia, No hay salvación sin autoaniquilación. No hay Yo sin unión - sin Somos. No hay ser humano sin un mundo humano.”

“Till this moment, I have not enjoyed a single second as an ordinary human being, yet I do not regret it, because I am responsible – I am responsible for what happens to you – I am responsible for what happens to your neighbor – I am responsible for what happens to this world.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 20 The more you break me, the stronger I become. The more you hate me, the gentler I become. The more you mock me, the kinder I become. The more you alienate me, the braver I become. The more you betray me, the more I learn to trust. The more you disappoint me, the more I feel electrified. The more you take advantage, the more I learn to care. The more you backstab me, the more I am energized. The more you humiliate me, the more I gain humility. The more you laugh at me, the more I learn to smile. More you kick me around, more my spine is straightened. The more you drag me down, the higher I end up flying. Every bad behavior directed at me amplifies my power. The broken humans of the world make the greatest healer.”
