Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science Quotes

“Simple, Sonnet Serenity is born of simplicity, Insecurity is born of clutter. Patience empowers perseverance, Selfishness brings down disaster. But what's a life without difficulty, Difficulty delivers durability. Don't be ashamed of darkness in life, It's in darkness we shine most brightly. There's nothing shameful about fear, It's a problem when the reason is baseless. Trouble of privilege is trouble of lies, Reject all privilege and rush to the helpless. It is human nature to shed tears when in agony, Taking pain to wipe another's tears is humanity.”

“They say, scientists are the new priests. Well, most priests leave things to god - we don't - we are gods. And not just us scientists - every human who takes responsibility for their society, is a living god. Even a priest can be god - those rare few who inspire their parishioners to be god-like rather than god-fearing. Whether you believe in the supernatural, that's irrelevant. The question is, are you mindful of your duties to the natural world? The difference between creator and creation is in responsibility. The creator takes responsibility, the creation delegates it. What are you?”

“All through history every culture on earth has produced its distinct literature - American literature, British literature, Latino Literature, Arabic literature, Turkish literature, European literature, Bengali literature and so on. I am none of these, because I am all of these - Naskar is the amalgamation of all of world's cultures. Naskar is the first epitome of integrated Earth literature - where there is no inferior, no superior - no greater, no lesser. Soulfulness of Rumiland, heartfulness of Martíland, correctiveness of MLKland, sweetness of Tagoreland - merge them all in the fire of love, and lo emerges Naskarland - merge them all in the fire of love, and lo emerges lightland.”

“Mind Quotient (Sonnet 1209) Throw away all stupidity of IQ and EQ, They are but stain upon mind's honor. To quantify intelligence is stupid, To quantify emotion is even stupider. When the feeble psyche seeks reassurance, It craves comfort in all sorts of nonsense. Most times it resorts to the supernatural, Exhausting that it resorts to pseudoscience. It is no mark of mental progress to replace supernatural bubble with pseudoscience bubble. No matter how they try to sell you security, Know that, human potential is unquantifiable. IQ is no measure of intelligence, EQ is no measure of emotion either. But craving for IQ and EQ is symptom of a shallow and feeble character.”

“Climate Activists (not all) have turned into Climate Karens, which has done nothing for the climate crisis, but has only added one more crisis to the list. BLM activists don't go about abusing white people, Pride activists don't go about harassing straight people, and yet, that's precisely what has become the norm in climate protests. Vandalism isn't activism, you morons! If you want to help the climate, help the green energy industry become mainstream.”

“If you wanna know about a culture, you can read about it in any language - but if you want to experience that culture like your own, you gotta do it as one of their own - through their own native language.”

“The sun doesn't know how to shine over only one planet, I don't know how to illuminate only one culture. What this means is that, it's not that I don't write from the narrow prehistoric confines of one single culture or tribe - I don't know how to.”

“Flashlights there are plenty, Sun there is but one. Rushmores there are plenty, Everest there is but one. Rushmore leers as a criminal monument, While Everest stands as a gentle giant. Arrogance goes together with brutality, While valor and virtue go hand in hand.”

“Cansiz, Bir Şiir Seni çok özlüyorum, Ne zaman geleceksin ya! Benim kafamı kırmaya, Ne zaman bağıracaksın ya! Ne olursa olsun hemen gel, Sensiz hayat çok acıyor. Gel, çıldırt bu bilim adamını, Cansız akıllılık çok acıyor. Senin için adımı kaybettim Senin için arzuları kaybettim. Bir tek ruhum önemli vardı bana, Senin için ruhumu bile feda ettim. Hayat ne kadar zor olursa olsun, Şair ben, yaralarımla yaşıyorum. Ama ben artık şair olmak değil, Sevgili olmak istiyorum.”
