Martyr Meets World: To Solve The Hard Problem of Inhumanity Quotes

“You want revolution? Then dismantle all indifference and stand up - stand up and do not move - do not move from your conviction of justice - do not move from your conviction of equality - do not move from your conviction of humanity - do not move an inch - even if all the artilleries in the world are charged against you - do not move and do not harm - just stand - keep standing - keep standing like a pillar of insanity - an insanity for sanctity - an insanity for serenity - an insanity for unity - let them break every single bone in your body - let all the blood in your veins pour out - let every trace of life seep out of your wounds - but still do not move - till there is a single kernel of life left in you. This is what revolution looks like - this is what civilized revolution looks like - no guns, no bombs, not even a baton, just a whole lot of determination, that even the mighty gods cannot deter - a revolution that turns an animal world into a human world - a revolution that turns a jungle into a modern society – a revolution that turns distance into unity.”

“Indifference is silent, so is realization, but the difference between the two is that the silence of indifference sustains a life of complacency, whereas the silence of realization pours in your veins such courage that you no longer are able to maintain indifference of any sort - wherever and whenever you see injustice and discrimination you leap in revolution - you leap with a strong conviction of equality and humaneness - you leap in an act of revolution.”

“It’s disappointing that we opposed Adolf Hitler, and even more disappointing that now still we only see him for his so-called hatred. Why do we overlook his courage, his bravery to stand up for his cause, his vegan diet, his charisma and artistic abilities? Adolf was a man with beliefs we weren’t ready for.”

“Sonnet of Unity I am vicdan, I am saadet. My life isn't mine, It's your emanet. Soy sanity, Soy humanidad. Life lies in service, Selfishness kills vitalidad. Ich bin inclusion, Ich bin indivisible. Mein kampf is unity, Human and hate are incompatible. Life divided brings degradation. Growth comes through expansion. (vicdan=conscience, saadet=joy, emanet=keepsake, soy=I am, humanidad=humanity, vitalidad=vitality, Ich bin=I am, mein kampf=my struggle)”

“Humans awake with humanity need no bible, quran or gita to tell right from wrong - they don't need humanitarian institutions to tackle crisis of human rights. They just stand up and act as human, and the whole planet is revolutionized.”

“Divinity for Sale (The Sonnet) When a book becomes religion, And doctrines become divinity, Holiness remains speculation, Society loses sight of humanity. When institutions claim authority, And sleeping masses comply, Religion disappears altogether, What remains is potential gone awry. When popes and pundits sell faith, In the name of divine supremacy, Rigidity overrules common sense, And reason is hailed as blasphemy. But there is a cure for all this atrocity. It is called individual curiosity.”

“Throw all worry overboard and leap into life - leap into life and achieve the unachievable - leap into life and accomplish the unthinkable - leap into life and realize the impossible. Person lives only once, live so big that your very existence turns into a definition of life.”

“I don't have any allegiance to any single flag, but still I cannot disrespect them either with words or with action, you know why, because a flag represents a people, therefore disrespecting a flag means disrespecting a people. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a great leader in one of the countries of planet earth. The military of a neighboring country had taken over a region there, but accompanied by his brave soldiers the great leader liberated that part of his country from oppression. In celebration when the people of his country laid down the flag of the oppressor for their leader to walk on, he refused - he refused to insult even the flag of an invading country, for such is the character of a true leader. Leaders don't insult others to feel superior - they simply live as an epitome of courage, conscience and humility, and others can't help but follow on their own.”

“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.”

“Enhet Sonett Jag är samvete, Jag är glädje. Mitt liv är inte mitt, Jag tillhör dig. Jag är förnuft, Jag är mänsklighet. Själviskhet dödar vitalitet, Livet är i osjälviskhet. Jag är odelad, Jag välkomnar alla. Min kamp är enhet, Mänskligt och hat är oförenliga. Uppdelning ger nedbrytning. Tillväxt kommer genom utvidgning.”

“It's time to be a hero, instead of holding out for one. The good people of history are all gone - MLK, Lincoln, Parks, Tolstoy, Teresa, Madiba and many more - all are gone, now it's time for us to be the new good people. We must be the new people - a new people with a new vision - a new people with a new perception - a new people with a rejuvenated and determined desire for equality, inclusion and assimilation - a new people bearing the torch of a new world, where religion is the people, philosophy is the people, salvation is the people.”
