Sleepless for Society Quotes

“I wish I could tell you that all the comfort and luxuries in the world are a sign of progress, but they are not - they are a sign of disparities - and these disparities can only go away with our sacrifice - with the sacrifice of the humanitarians - some must give all, all must give some, only then will there be actual civilized, sane, healthy and whole progress - progress that includes all of humanity, not just the privileged few.”

“Not politician - not soldier - not scientist - not philosopher - not a professional of any kind - but a human being - a human being with the fire of accountability - that's what the world is desperately craving for. And that human - that majestic, life-giving, torch-bearing, vigorous human - is not going to fall from the sky - for it is nobody else but you.”

“I hold all of you a traitor till you start doing your part for those in misery. What gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you feel for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you think for the humans - what gives you the right to call yourself a human, till you act for the humans!”

“Plight of A Humanitarian (The Sonnet) My dear people of earth, I die everyday so that your children can live. My dear people of earth, You've been selfish for long now it's time to give. My dear people of earth, I struggle everyday with your interest on top. My dear people of earth, Enough of this tribalism now it's time to grow up. My dear people of earth, I'm really tired and weary righting all wrong. My dear people of earth, Join me in making a world where we all belong. I promise I don't want much from you. All I ask is that you bid your sectarianism adieu.”

“I am loco for society - I am loco for humanity - I am loco for universal unity - and till the last breath in my body I'll work to make that universal unity a reality, regardless of whether I fail or not - where I leave off, someone else as loco as me will pick up and where they leave off, others will pick.”

“It is a promise that I ask of you - a promise that no matter the time and age you'll never lose sight of your humanity - you'll never be too immersed in your own comfort to help out those in misery around you. If you can make this promise, not to me mark you but to yourself, then I'll know that I've achieved absolution.”

“You may come or not to walk beside me, I won't stand still in silence while the oceans burn and the sun turns dark - I will either right the wrongs or perish in the attempt - and even if I burn to ashes in trying to humanize my surroundings, those ashes of mine will still smoke inclusion, equality and humaneness - I am not born a human to crawl as an indifferent vermin, I am born a human to embrace death for the values, the principles, the virtues that ought to be the foundation of human civilization - I am sleepless and I will stay sleepless till all the children of earth can sleep in peace with a full stomach and a happy heart, without worrying about guns and bombs, without worrying about prejudice and phobia, without worrying about discrimination and deportation - I will stay sleepless till the whole world becomes a family, not in theory, not in philosophy, not in argument, not even in futuristic vision, but in reality and practice.”

“Mi Humanidad Insiste (The Sonnet) Mi corazón insiste that I can't sit still, Till the society is human and thus starts living. Mi corazón insiste that I can't sleep in peace, Till I bring out the peace the world holds within. Mi conciencia insiste that I can't stop walking, Till I make the fallen rise to make their destiny. Mi conciencia insiste that I can't stop working, Till each human extends a hand out in solidarity. Mi alma insiste that my breath is not my own, Till I breathe life into the souls lost in misery. Mi alma insiste that I have no right over my veins, Till the veins of society are freed from disparity. Mi humanidad insiste the life of one is the life of all. Either we are one family or nothing at all.”
