Mad About Humans: World Maker's Almanac Quotes

“Liberationville (The Sonnet) When the blood is boiling and conscience is screaming, Stop not wishing for a messiah to appear. When the heart is beating and the mind is restless, Sit not praying for the miseries to disappear. When the veins are burning and nerves are revolting, Stay not cooped up in a cocoon of petty pleasures. When the lungs are choking and cells are aching, Stay not inanimate out of insecurities and fears. When the spine is bending and the head is drooping, Stay not silent submitting to tribal identity. When the knees are trembling and the throat is thirsty, Stand not frail as servant of conformity. When the eyes are teary and lips are dreary, never consider sitting still. Obliterate loyalty to atrocities of the norm waking up to liberationville.”

“Those Who Call You Mad (The Sonnet) Those who call you mad will one day worship you, For no great achievement is possible without madness. Those who laugh at you will one day learn from you, For working through the laugh is a criteria for greatness. Those who know not you exist will one day seek your guidance, For your endless sacrifice will make you a beacon. Those who find you absurd will one day bow in veneration, For the absurd ideas take us to the most breathtaking destination. Those who look down on you will one day look up to you, For your sacrifice will place you on a pedestal of glory. Those who are deaf to you will one day cross limits for you, For your voice will echo in the hearts as a purifying symphony. Those who see you inconsequential will one day pay you homage. Breathe your mission, live your mission and your acts will forge fate's foliage.”

“It is easier to blame the politicians and civil servants than to take responsibility for the issues of one's own society. Society is us, so its issues are our responsibility - they are the responsibility of each one of us, from the scientist to the civil servant, from the janitor to the teacher, from the preacher to the sex-worker.”
