Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect Quotes

“Favoritism is Good (The Sonnet) My favorite language in the world is Turkish, Because its culture electrifies my scars. My favorite language in the East is Telugu, Because its music emboldens my nerves. My favorite language in the West is Spanish, Because it teaches me the worth of freedom. Favorite ancient tongues are Arabic 'n Sanskrit, For one embodies peace, another assimilation. My favorite science of all is electronics, For it empowers my imagination untainted. My favorite philosophy is everyday curiosity, It helps me transcend all sectarian intellect. My favorite religion in the world is service, Because it transforms an animal into human. I don't care what you believe or don't, As long as your behavior speaks compassion. Favoritism is a civilized faculty, when practiced beyond blood and border. Problem is when you see nothing at all, beyond the rim of your family and culture.”

“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.”

“Love Before Language (Sonnet 1227) أعظم الحقيقة هي الحب ، أعظم قانون هو الحب. أعظم إيمان هو الحب ، أعظم وجود هو الحب. प्रेमसत्यं ब्रह्मसत्यम्। प्रेम विना अस्तित्वं नास्ति।। प्रेमदर्शनं ब्रह्मदर्शनम्। प्रेम विना ब्रह्माण्डं नास्ति।। Love happens regardless of facts, Facts happen regardless of love. When love and facts come together, Magic happens in our veins and nerve. Love before language, Heart before heritage. To unify this broken world, I once took the divine pledge.”

“When I wanna pen something extremely personal, without actually revealing anything, I just write it in spanish or turkish. If you wanna study the mountain, study the mainstream work - but if you wanna learn about the person, study the turkish and spanish portion of my work. That's why most of the titles of my works are in turkish or spanish - because I can't write a single word unless I feel the title boiling in my blood - and although English is unofficially the first language of earth, because of its savage imperialist history, it is neither the profoundest nor the most beautiful language on earth. Does that mean, we should wipe out english from the world altogether? Of course not - that would be yet another boneheaded exercise in bigotry and intolerance. Instead, what's really needed is a genuine humane intention to create a truly magnificent multilingual society - towards a multicultural world. Learn to look beyond the puny confines of one petty language, because the world is too grand to be wasted in the gutter of one language and one culture. Every culture is my culture, every country is mine - defiant descendants of divided ancestors, hand in hand we shall fly.”
