Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Honor He Wrote (The Sonnet) I am not a writer, writers have limits, I have none, I only have responsibility, The responsibility to unite the world, The responsibility to humanize humanity. We are setting out on this journey, With the awareness of being responsible, For responsibility makes one honorable, Honor makes one responsible. Fervor of honor is beginning to fade, From the fabric of society and self. It is definitely no sign of progress, In fact it is a sign of utter decadence. Honor is, in truth, another name for character. With the demise of honor all good will disappear.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 63 What are we without principles, Nothing but a bag of animal flesh. What are we without reason, Nothing but tradition's infectious abscess. What are we without warmth, Nothing but insects chasing self-centricity. What are we without collectivity, Nothing but mechanics of monstrosity. What are we without humility, Nothing but a bunch of smart nimrods. What are we without moderation, Nothing but poisonous arthropods. Higher the sentience, greater the responsibility, A mind oblivious to this, is oblivious to humanity.”

“The Wholeness Sonnet Free will is not a question of willpower, It is a question of character. Civilization is not a question of etiquette, It is a question of behavior. Order is not a question of law, It is a question of accountability. Harmony is not a question of toleration, It is a question of inclusivity. Peace is not a question of diplomacy, It is a question of nonsectarianism. Progress is not a question of revenue, It is a question of collectivism. When the heart is whole all's well with society. Fragmentation fills the sky with disparity.”

“Shades of Brown (The Sonnet) There is no white skin, There is no black skin. All of us are shades of brown, If we can reason without stereotyping. Climate makes the difference in color, But not in character of the individual. Human character knows no geography, For a being of character is human above all. The idea of race is a myth most foul, Born of ignorance and narrowness. Now we live in a different time, That requires abolition of divisiveness. Discard those traditions and live as sapient. Let's build a world where color ain't relevant.”

“Shalom Civilization (The Sonnet) Without accountability there's no civilization, For it is the line between human and animal. Without integrity there's no civilization, For it is the line between human and vegetable. Without sanctity there's no civilization, For it is the line between sanity and savagery. Without amity there's no civilization, For it is the line between humanity and machinery. Without conscience there's no civilization, For it is the line between order and upheaval. Without character there's no civilization, For it is the line between life and survival. Civilization is a small word with a universe inside. To unfold it requires a species without divide.”
