Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission Quotes

“Why do you think I make zero mention of the culture I was born and raised in? It's because if I am to build a world where civilized beings would behave civilized and step across cultural bigotry, I must stand as the anomalous specimen of that possibility myself - I must stand as the ultimate global citizen - as a sapiens of earth, not of borders. Hence, I wiped out every last trace of identity imposed on me by the environment. Today I stand as the Himalayas - many cultures will claim exclusive copyright over me, but no single culture is vast enough to contain me.”

“Thus Speaks God (The Sonnet) Ik onkar, satnaam, Porque, yo soy insan. Aham bismillahsmi, Çünkü, benim adım vicdan. Sarva dharman parityajya, Giving up all national grave, Nos haremos vessels of verdad, Rise we shall as sapiens brave. Divinidad está en cada cultura, But no culture is pure divinity. Human divided is human undivine, Hatelessness is civilized divinity. Thus speaks God in tongue beyond tongues. One vessel isn't enough to contain my neurons.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 9 I don't obey the law, I write them. I am the school where reformers, And public servants learn the rudiments. I don't follow science, I am science. I am the university where scientists, Shrinks 'n philosophers develop sapience. I believe in no God, I am walking Godliness. I am the cosmic record that makes, Monks and theologians grow sentience. I am the end of all half-knowledge, I am the beginning of sight beyond sight. Whoever finds me in their heart's mirror, Can never be tamed by apish fright.”
