Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect Quotes

“All The World's An Asylum (Sonnet 1235) All the world's an asylum, All the people are lunatics. Some are but loonies of love, Some loonies run by prejudice. Some die running in love of currency, Some die sharing the currency of love. Beyond the grasp of dollar and euro, Love is the only nonvolatile currency in the world. It's good to be a loonie, If the reason is justly humane. When human welfare is at stake, It's only logical to be insane. Sane, insane - be as the need arises, To hell with the judgment of nitwits! In an organic world no sanity is absolute, Boldly walk the spectrum as the purpose fits.”

“Humanitarian Behaviorism (The Sonnet) Give me a drop of love, I'll shower you with monsoon. Hit me with loads of hate, I'll silently disappear soon. I don't approve of hate in return, I just walk away from wrong done to me. Wrong done to another is another matter, I am the bulldozer, if you are the bully. I am a biologist and behaviorist after all, I don't need to do harm to restrain harm. Weaknesses of the apes are my common knowledge, Where there is brain, there's no need for brawn. Brain used to lift the world, is the only human brain. All else is mindless protoplasm, ever-consumed with greed and gain.”

“Spangskritlish (Sonnet for Tomorrow's Citizen) जाग्रत, उत्तिष्ठ, जगत् स्कन्धे गृहाण, आत्मानं विस्मरतु, संसारस्य अश्रुमार्जयतु। द्वेषं हिंसां च सर्वं परित्यज्य, जाग्रत, उत्तिष्ठ, सुमनुष्य भवतु। Eres Dios, eres diablo - Lo que decidas, ¡así será! Human destiny is human decision, Somos la iluminación en toda oscuridad. We are the illumination, We are the answer to our prayer. Karanlık bile korkacak bizden, When we rise as each other's keeper. Dolor del mundo es nuestro dolor. While the apes doze, human builds the road.”

“I Am My Teacher (Sonnet 1234) I teach myself when I need to learn something, I correct myself when I make mistakes. No two year old shaped as 40, 50, 60 or 70, Has the maturity to provide me moral guidance. I taught myself electronics when I fell for it, I taught myself music in my youthful high. I taught myself languages in sheer obsession, I taught myself aeronautics when I wanted to fly. Critics mail, I should add "biggest ego" to my bio, I thank them all for an astounding revelation. If I actually behaved befitting my capacity, Half your legends will lose their reputation. You only see the tip of the ice-berg, Fullness of the Himalayas you'll never see. I chose to put many of my passions aside, One path, one mission - one answer to calamity.”

“Only love can bring full freedom, all else brings half freedom. What is half freedom you ask? When in the name of freedom you imprison yourself to one side or sect, everything outside that sect seems evil. For example, fundamentalists choose the side of blind faith, and every act of reason seems like blasphemy - just like cold, sharp-tongue intellectuals choose the side of rationality even at the expense of humanity, and everything illogical seems outdated - or wait, I got a better one - so-called social activists often get so attached to their self-imposed identity of victimhood, that every person with a political, corporate, legal or bureaucratic background seems to appear as devil incarnate. This, my friend, is what I call "half freedom", which by the way, is far worse than the lack of freedom. And even though it manifests as an act of willful choice, when you get down to it, it's just plain old rigidity. And if we want to build a truly just, inclusive and progressive society, this hypocritical half-freedom won't do - what's needed is whole freedom - a kind of freedom that liberates the mind of all superstition as well as ignorant suspiciousness. It's time we realize, yelling about justice without using common sense is just as useless as keeping quiet. What this means is that, we gotta come together regardless of our background - the teacher, the scientist, the student, the copper, the politician, the civil servant, the entrepreneur, the economist, the janitor, the construction worker - every single person from every single walk of life must come forward surpassing all suspicious conspiracy, and contribute the best of their capacity in the making of a real civilized world.”
